39 Pp. Red Cloth. First Printing. Fine Book In A Very Good Dust Jacket, Rear Panel Blank, This Title Last In List On Rear Flap, With Light Dust To Covers, Some Browning, And A Touch Of Wear At Corners. "The Free World Very Badly Needs Dynamic, Imaginative, Revised And Reinvigorated American Policies". Lots Of Luck With That, The Only Such Policies Involve Invading Much Smaller Countries- With No Follow-Up Policies. "Some Aspects Of Our Exported Mass Culture Are Strictly Revolting." Which Aren't? This Articulate And Concise Critic Is, In Retrospect, Too Kind. Per Wikipedia, Erwin Dain Canham (1904 – 1982) Was An American Journalist And Author. He Was Best Known For His Work As The Longest-Serving Editor Of The Christian Science Monitor. He Also Was The First, And Last, Resident Commissioner Of The Northern Mariana Islands As It Was In The Process Of Becoming A Commonwealth Of The United States; And He Was Very Active In Various Civic, Political, And Journalistic Activities. Soon After Starting Work At The Monitor, Canham Took Leave To Earn His Bachelor's And Master's Degrees At Oriel College, Oxford University On A Rhodes Scholarship,[3] Covering The League Of Nations In Geneva, Switzerland For The Monitor On Breaks,[2] Where He Made A Significant Impression And Built A Long List Of Contacts. Canham Became The Monitor's Longest-Serving Editor, Assuming The Title Editor-In-Chief In 1964, And In 1974, Retiring And Being Named Editor Emeritus. During That Time He Reported On Many Major World Events, Including The Founding Of Nato And The United Nations, Where He Acted As A Delegate To The United Nations General Assembly. Besides His Work At The Monitor, Canham Was Involved In Other Civic And Professional Activities And Organizations. He Served As President And Board Chairman Of The U.S. Chamber Of Commerce, President Of The American Society Of Newspaper Editors, And President Of The Board Of Trustees Of The Boston Public Library. He Also Served On The Bates College Board Of Trustees, Was A Member Of President Richard Nixon's Commission On Campus Unrest, And Served As Chair Of The National Manpower Commission Under The Eisenhower Administration, And On An Advisory Commission To The U.S. Information Agency. Canham Advocated For Honesty And Ethics In Journalism. The Monitor Won Its First Pulitzer Prizes Under Canham's Leadership. While He Was Editor, "The Monitor Was Considered By Most Media Critics As One Of The Most Respected And Influential Publications In The Country. It Was Especially Lauded For Its National And International Reporting As Well As For Its Writing Style And Typographical Excellence" According To The Washington Post. The Marianas Variety Wrote That "[In] A Political Atmosphere Often Charged With Acrimony And Pettiness, He Managed To Remain Fair, Objective And Untainted By Narrow Partisanship." Walter Cronkite Told Canham That The Monitor Was "Representative Of The Finest In Independent, Courageous And Unbiased American Journalism.".…
