Biographie de l'auteur
Timothy Crouse has been a contributing editor to Rolling Stone and The Village Voice, and the Washington columnist for Esquire, writing numerous articles for these and other publications, including The New Yorker. He translated, with Luc Brébion, Roger Martin du Gard’s Lieutenant-Colonel de Maumort. The new version of Anything Goes that he coauthored with John Weidman was staged at the Royal National Theatre in London.
Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937–February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author. He was known for his flamboyant writing style, most notably deployed in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which blurred the distinctions between writer and subject, fiction and nonfiction. The best source on Thompson's writing style and personality is Thompson himself. His books include Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga (1966), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream (1972), Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72 (1973); The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time (1979); The Curse of Lono (1983); Generation of Swine, Gonzo Papers Vol. 2: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80's (1988); and Songs of the Doomed (1990).
Présentation de l'éditeur
Cheap booze. Flying fleshpots. Lack of sleep. Endless spin. Lying pols.
Just a few of the snares lying in wait for the reporters who covered the 1972 presidential election. Traveling with the press pack from the June primaries to the big night in November, Rolling Stone reporter Timothy Crouse hopscotched the country with both the Nixon and McGovern campaigns and witnessed the birth of modern campaign journalism. The Boys on the Bus is the raucous story of how American news got to be what it is today. With its verve, wit, and psychological acumen, it is a classic of American reporting.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Fourth printing [stated]. ix, [3], 383, [5] pages. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Name in ink inside the front cover. Occasional ink comments noted. Timothy Crouse (born 1947) is an American journalist and writer. He wrote for the Boston Herald before joining the staff of Rolling Stone where he worked as a contributing editor from 1971 to 1972. Crouse is the author of The Boys on the Bus, a largely critical look at the journalists who covered the 1972 US presidential campaign. The only other writer interested in covering the election was his colleague, the legendary writer Hunter S. Thompson. "It only took a few days of riding the bus for me to see that the reporters themselves would make a great story," Crouse said. Crouse also profiled Hunter S. Thompson in the book. [Thompson] "wrote to provoke, shock, protest and annoy," wrote Crouse. Crouse also profiled R.W. Apple, the legendary reporter and editor at the New York Times. Reporters "recognized many of their own traits in him, grotesquely magnified. The shock of recognition frightened them. Apple was like them, only more blatant. He openly displayed the faults they tried to hide: the insecurity, the ambitiousness, the name-dropping" and "the weakness for powerful men." Crouse coined the term pack journalism. "The press likes to demonstrate its power by destroying lightweights, and pack journalism is never more doughty and complacent than when the pack has tacitly agreed that a candidate is a joke." Crouse was a columnist for Esquire & wrote for The New Yorker and The Village Voice. Derived from a Kirkus review: Theodore H. White invented the making of the President business back in 1960 and Dr. Hunter S. Thompson raised it to New Journalistic eminence in 1972. Somewhere in between the stars like White and Thompson are a whole gaggle of political reporters -pundits, pontificators, network glamor boys, fawners, drunks, wire service virtuosos, hacks, hatchet men, comers -- all crammed like monkeys with typewriters in the press bus, frenetically dogging the candidates, all looking for a piece of the story, something to peg their best words on, and perhaps, after the quadrennial gig is finished, a book which might do half as well as White's or be a quarter as perceptive as Thompson's. Now young Crouse -- a Rolling Stone editor via the Harvard Crimson -- has a new angle: why not cover the boys who cover the candidates, letting us in on how the national press makes its copy, regards its members, wields its influence, reacts to the Nixon-McGovern hustle. And he does a quite decent job too -- there's an ample quota of anecdotes like the time Jane Muskie pushed a cake into Dick Stout's (Newsweek) face or how Johnny Apple's (NY Times) South Carolina challenge story was almost killed; there's a good analysis of what Crouse calls "pack journalism"; there's an instructive discussion of the informal but influential "screening committee" comprised of mogul reporters like David Broder and Robert Novak; there' are wonderful descriptions of Crouse's colleagues -- e.g., Jim Naughton: "If Dickens' Tiny Tim had reached the age of thirty-four, he would look like Naughton"; and there's coverage of the coverage of the campaign itself which provides additional insight into the press's attitudes and techniques. Leave the driving to Crouse -- his Making of the Press 1972 reads right along in high gear. N° de réf. du vendeur 81191
