A propos de cet article

The format is approximately 8.8 x 11 x .75 inches. [2], 240, [2] pages. Beautiful and very good DJ. Colorful Illustrations, Press Club Member List, Index. From a chance encounter by two reporters on a Washington street corner in February 1908, the National Press Club has grown to be the world's largest, most prestigious club run by journalists. It started as a watering hole and card room for newspapermen, but from the beginning its members have hosted and questions--most of the national and world leaders who shaped the 20th and now the 21st century. Reliable Sources: 100 Years at the national Press Club tells the story of the history-making events as well as the wackiness that only a club of journalists can create. Here is Nikita Khrushchev explaining why he would "bury us," Lauren Bacall draping her legs over an upright piano as Harry Truman plays, Sen. Joe McCarthy winning a Club mule race and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reciting verses from the Koran. And how did the Club's bar figure into the Cuban missile crisis? It's all here. The National Press Club is a professional organization and social community in Washington, D.C. for journalists and communications professionals. It hosts public and private gatherings with invited speakers from public life. The club also offers event space to outside groups to host business meetings, news conferences, industry gatherings, and social events. It was founded in 1908. The club has been visited by most U.S. presidents; since Warren Harding, many have also been members and spoken from the club's podium. Others who have appeared at the club include monarchs, prime ministers, premiers, members of Congress, Cabinet officials, ambassadors, scholars, entertainers, business leaders, and athletes. The club's emblem is the owl, in deference to wisdom, awareness and nights spent working. An excellent 90-year history book, edited by former National Press Club president, John Cosgrove, which depicts the rich heritage that has established the National Press Club as the leading news organization in the world. Founded in 1908, the National Press Club has served as host to hundreds of world leaders and celebrities. Hundreds of historic photos from the NPC archives highlight this book. Read about visits from Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Other guest speakers have included Lech Walesa, Elizabeth Taylor, Muhamed Ali, and many more.…
