Succeeding Donovan as Time Inc.'s editor in chief is Henry Grunwald, Viennese-born and TIME-nurtured. Grunwald began working for The Weekly Newsmagazine as a copy boy in 1944, while still an undergraduate at New York University. The following year he became a writer, advanced to senior editor -the youngest ever-at age 28 and to managing editor in 1968.

Lopez does not write well; when he gets in a pinch, he resorts to quoting other authors or citing reams of ridiculous data-- in four months of the New York Times, for example, Harvard was mentioned in connection with its graduates three times more than all other colleges combined. Essentially, the book is a 237-page collection of odd quotes, bizarre statistics, dull ancedotes, and drivel. The author strikes a particularly banal chord when he tries to add some organization to his endless list of alums...
