  CJR - Books - I've Seen the Best of It, by Joseph W. Alsop
Alsop defended the patriotism of McCarthy's victims in the State Department's China bureau, despite the fact that hevehemently disagreed with their assessments of the relative merits of Chiang and Mao at the time they were proffered.
Alsop's clout was symbolized by the fact that on a cold and snowy January night in 1961, the president of the United States, just hours into the job, dropped by after the inauguration festivities to get something to eat.
Alsop defends his shameless interventions into the political process on the familiar basis of his being a "citizen" as well as a journalist, though he cheats a little bit by bringing up the issue only with regard to his morally exemplary behavior during the McCarthy scare.

 Joseph and Stewart Alsop
Joseph Alsop, born in 1910, was the older brother of Stewart Alsop, born in 1914, both of whom would come to be known for their work as political journalists for the New York Herald Tribune, the Saturday Evening Post, and Newsweek.
Their mother, Corinne Robinson Alsop, was Eleanor Roosevelt's first cousin, and the Alsops maintained a relationship with the first lady until her death in 1962, despite sometimes breaking with her publicly on issues of policy, or even on issues of fashion and taste.
It was during this period that the Alsop brothers earned the recognition and level of circulation (at one point their column was the most heavily syndicated in the United States) that made them, alongside other notables like Walter Lippmann, two of the most important political newspapermen of the twentieth century.

 American Journalism Review
Alsop was a regular dinner companion of Franklin Roosevelt, a fierce antagonist of Joseph McCarthy (who, of course, labeled him a communist) and an effusive acolyte of John F. Kennedy.
A somewhat unlikely journalist, Alsop sprang from the aristocratic "WASP ascendancy" of New England, attended Groton and Harvard and landed his first job at the New York Herald Tribune after his grandmother, despairing of his prospects in law, intervened with the owners.
For instance, Alsop peppers the book with advice about column writing, beginning with a simple point: He always considered himself a reporter with a duty "to go and see for myself the weather in the streets." Alsop worked diligently, traveling the world, venturing into combat and trading ideas with sources to complete his syndicated column.
