Verne Marshall, tempestuous editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, sensed a bigger story and a wider network of corruption. His aggressive investigative reporting led to multiple resignations, nearly fifty indictments and the dramatic trial of the state's attorney general. These explosive expose?s earned Verne Marshall and the paper the 1936 Pulitzer Prize. Author Jerry Harrington traces the legacy of Marshall's incendiary crusade across Iowa's political landscape. 606 $aJournalists$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aJournalists 676 $a814.54 700 $aHarrington$b Jerry$01245644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157365203321 996 $aCrusading Iowa journalist Verne Marshall$92888879 997 $aUNINA
