...dull re-hash on the strength of the original success. Nothing of the sort is true in this case, partly because of Burton Hendrick's studied sense of the dramatic, mostly because of the essential fullness of Page's life before he ever thought of ambassadorship. From cub-reporter in St. Joseph, Mo., he rose rapidly to New York newspaperdom, managed and edited the Forum, and later The Atlantic Monthly?"report-ing and interpreting American civilization." In 1900, as co-founder of Doubleday, Page & Co., he entered into what he was content to consider the culmination of his career?launching...
