Friendly echoes those views as well, and unlike Hartman and Pollack, he alone shares Nesson and Miller's ties to both the academic and television worlds. Now the Edward R. Murrow Professor of Journalism Emeritus at Columbia University's School of Journalism, 30 years ago Friendly teamed with Murrow to create "See It Now." Their series sought to educate the public by often devoting a single program to a complicated and important issue or personality. The show perhaps remains most famous for its revealing programs on then-Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wisc...
...Friendly deems his work with Nesson and Miller "the most important I've ever done" adding "We're trying to do what Murrow did, to get people involved in complex issues. "Friendly continues.

This book will not reform the court, perhaps because it doesn't need to be reformed. The book is certainly a detailed account, but it is not investigative reporting in the Murrow or Bernstein or Woodward tradition.
