Reed joined the New York Times in 1965 and was quickly thrust into the chaos of the Selma, Alabama, protest movement and the historical interracial march to Montgomery. His story then moves from days of racial violence to the political combat of Washington. Reed covered the Johnson White House and the early days of the Nixon administration as it wrestled with the competing demands of black voters and southern resistance to a new world. The memoir concludes with engaging postings from New Orleans and London and other travels of a reporter always on the lookout for new people, old ways, good company, and fresh outrages"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJournalists$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJournalists 676 $a070.92 676 $aB 700 $aReed$b Roy$f1930-$0924392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452967903321 996 $aBeware of limbo dancers$92074421 997 $aUNINA
