	James Reston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reston was born in Clydebank, Scotland into a poor, devout Scottish-Presbyterian family, which emigrated to the United States in 1920.
		Reston was forgiving of the frailties of soldiers, statesmen and party hacks -- too forgiving, some of his critics said, because he was too close to them." Reston's intimacy with those in power was seen to cloud his judgement and make him overly beholden to his sources.
		(Reston once titled one of his columns "By Henry Kissinger with James Reston.") Nothing in his experience in Washington, Reston says over and over in these memoirs, "was ever quite as good or as bad as the fashionable opinion of the day," and he thinks of Kissinger as a prime example of this.

	November/December 2002
		Reston was joyfully married for half a century to the only woman he ever loved, and his story takes color from the personalities and events he covered and, to a degree scarcely imaginable today, influenced.
		Reston had little to do with “the fall of American journalism.” Nor was he corrupted, as Stacks implies; he merely became comfortable with a contracting circle of voices, confusing America with the Washington scene to which he had become permanently affixed.
		Reston’s account of Chappaquidick began, with chilling insensitivity, “Tragedy has again struck the Kennedy family.” The young woman who died in Ted Kennedy’s car, Mary Jo Kopechne, went unmentioned until the fourth paragraph of the story — an embarrassing oversight soon corrected by editors in New York.

		James Reston Jr., a noted author and expert on the Crusades, is accusing the filmmakers of stealing parts of his 2001 tome, Warriors of God: Richard the Lionheart and Saladin in the Third Crusade, for the big-budget would-be blockbuster due out next week.
		Reston says the valiant story wasn't dreamed up by Hollywood hacks, but instead was lifted from his years of painstaking research--and he claims to have proof.
		Reston tells AP that veteran producer and former Tri-Star Pictures chairman Mike Medavoy optioned Warriors of God in November 2001 shortly after it's publication and sent a letter to the Oscar-nominated Scott about adapting the story to the big screen, describing it as cross between Lawrence of Arabia and A Man for All Seasons.

		Reston scants both science and 17th-century theology in setting the stage for the general reader, but he recreates the era with immediacy by mining Galileo's journals and letters for dialogue.
		Reston's work is a fine addition to the biographical history of one of the most important figures in Western culture.
		That such a chapter was not included is doubly strange since Reston is so clearly analytical in other mysterious and complex areas, and also because you would think that this would be one subject that would be very amenable to informed historical speculation, looking at his symptoms in light of today's medicine, and so forth.

		In Riveting descriptions, Reston captures the fascinating clash of the two armies as they battled their way to the outskirts of Jerusalem.

	James Reston: The Insider's Journalist in the Service of Empire
		Reston's statement of Feb. 26, 1965, that this assault on Vietnam reflected the "guiding principle...that no state shall use military force or the threat of military force to achieve its political objectives," was journalism straight out of George Orwell's 1984.
		James Reston took each of the peace offers at face value, asserting (10/18/65) that "the problem of peace lies now not in Washington but in Hanoi," and marveling (12/31/65) that "the enduring mystery of the war in Vietnam is why the Communists have not accepted the American offers of unconditional peace talks."
		Maybe Reston had mellowed; or, having retired in 1987, perhaps he was freed of some of the insider connections that had compromised his earlier journalism.

		James "Scotty" Reston was a shrewd and canny reporter of the old school (he always did the necessary legwork) with a skill for writing clear, direct, and sometimes poetic prose that struck directly at the heart of the matter.
		Reston was a complex man. He was protective, kind and fatherly to a slew of great reporters but was cold and distant to his three sons.
		Nevertheless, Reston was basically optimistic, moralistic, and a paean to the American ideal that the immigrant son of poor uneducated parents could succeed.

		The story of that clash is one of baseball's flest moments, with no winner anywhere, and Reston replays it in all of its grim, grisly detail.
		But Reston isn't satisfied to simply play out the endgame confrontation of the sinner and the standard bearer, and that's the brilliance of his book; he entwines their complex and fascinating biographies in a way that makes their collision seem tragically, almost surreally, inevitable.
		Still, it was their very failures of character that slapped each with a fate neither would have willingly chosen: Rose the unpenitent outcast, Giamatti the eternal martyr.
