	Max Frankel writes well of his life, his Times
		MAX Frankel became editor in chief of the New York Times at a crucial point in the paper's history.
		Frankel was also facing a staff beaten down by his predecessor, Abe Rosenthal, a brilliant but difficult editor who was often confrontational and condescending.
		Frankel was the Times' bureau chief in Washington when reporter Neil Sheehan brought in a brown paper bag containing a small sample of the top-secret document.

	Max Frankel
		With that line, Max Frankel, former executive editor of The New York Times, launched into a freewheeling talk tonight, ranging from his family's escape from Nazi Germany, through his years at the Times, to the role of the newspaper today and beyond.
		Frankel began his 50-year career at the Times during his sophomore year at Columbia University, where he became editor of the Spectator, the student newspaper.
		Frankel said that the role of newspapers has changed radically since his earliest reports for the Times, notably one in which he captured the drama of the July 1956 sinking of the Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria, for a long since abandoned 7:30 a.m.

	Columbia Journalism Review: Books: Jouralism to the max
		Max and his mother ("Mutti") returned to Germany, where she spent the next two years alternately beseeching, charming, and challenging a succession of German police, Gestapo operatives, and not a few American embassy officials, until she secured passage to America.
		The family's harrowing escape marked Frankel as a "chronic fugitive, forever looking to escape the mundane, to find new soil and stimulation." This he accomplished through journalism, for which he seemed ideally suited, possessed as he was with an unblinking curiosity, an intuitive mind, and a fluid hand.
		Frankel was finally brought in from the cold in 1961, with a call from Scotty Reston, the Times's legendary Washington bureau chief.

	Online NewsHour: Max Frankel -- May 21, 1999
		Max Frankel currently writes a column about media for the Times' Sunday magazine entitled "Word and Image." Now he has published a memoir of his writing life subtitled The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times.
		MAX FRANKEL: I think we're in trouble, not just for the reasons that the public sees as the past year of scandal as a fl eye for us, but I think the problem is much deeper than that.
		MAX FRANKEL: That's true but we live in this world -- we are more closely intertwined with the world today than we ever were in the cold war.

	Max Frankel's path to education has a lot of twists and turns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Max Frankel's path to education had more twists and turns than the conventional student.
		After the speech, Frankel said he finds Kent State fascinating and was excited to visit the university for the first time.
		Frankel covered former President Richard Nixon's speech which announced the United State's invasion of Cambodia on April 30, 1970.

	Nelson
		Max Frankel's first thought when he was named to succeed Abe Rosenthal as Executive Editor of The New York Times in 1986 was how much it meant for a refugee who fled from the terrors of Nazi Germany to rise to the top of the world's greatest newspaper.
		Frankel, exceptionally candid even when his views are sure to rankle others, pointedly refuses to condemn all Germans for the Nazi horrors.
		Frankel, who felt he should be bureau chief if Wicker was going to be replaced, appealed directly to Sulzberger, who some time before had taken a shine to Frankel.

	The New York Times > Books > Books of The Times \| 'High Noon in the Cold War': Superpower Nuclear ...
		In the hands of Max Frankel, who covered the crisis in October 1962 for The New York Times, the answer to all three questions is a resounding yes.
		Frankel observes, "worthy of the horse at Troy." But within hours after the missiles were discovered by a U-2 overflight on Oct. 15, 1962, President Kennedy decided that the deployment of such weapons was unacceptable.
		Frankel recalls listening in as the president pleaded with The Times's Washington bureau chief, James Reston, not to publish what they knew.) It was, given the stakes, the correct decision.

	THE LEWINSKY LEGACY
		Max Frankel, who retired as executive editor of the Times in 1995, recently wrote a column in which he discussed the contrast between the Times' coverage of the Gennifer Flowers story in 1992, the Paula Jones story in 1994 and the Lewinsky story this year.
		Frankel was even more parsimonious in allocating space to Paula Jones's claim that Gov. Clinton had a state trooper escort her to a hotel room where Clinton exposed himself and asked her to perform a sex act.
		Max Frankel, the editor who decreed that the Flowers and Jones stories should be virtually ignored, still doesn't get it.

		Frankel's autobiography, "The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times," is the latest and one of the more valuable in a series of memoirs by a generation of journalists whose work has shaped the American media.
		Frankel broke in with the Times in the early 1950s, fresh from the Columbia University student newspaper, and although he came close, he never left except for military service.
		Frankel spent much of his career fighting the tendency of the Times to publish straight news stories with little analysis or interpretation to help the reader understand events in context.

		The memo named the current managing editor, Joseph Lelyveld, who is fifty-seven, as Frankel's successor, and it named as Lelyveld's replacement Eugene L. Roberts, Jr., a former national editor at the Times, who is sixty-one and who left in 1972 to become the executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer—a job he gave up in 1990.
		What they were looking for was a managing editor to counterbalance the brilliant but forbidding Lelyveld—someone who could be not just a sounding board for Lelyveld but an ear for the staff, as Arthur Gelb was in his capacity as deputy managing editor under A. Rosenthal, back in the late seventies and early eighties.
		To Frankel's and Lelyveld's credit, the institution has bent to accommodate and retain talent, as it refused to bend in the sixties and seventies to keep Gay Talese, David Halberstam, J. Anthony Lukas, Gloria Emerson, and Richard Reeves.

	Booknotes
		Max Frankel started to write for The New York Times as a student at Columbia in 1949, and during the next half century he held just about every important position on the paper—foreign correspondent, Washington bureau chief, editorials editor, and executive editor.
		When The Times of My Life begins, Max Frankel is a boy in Nazi Germany; we experience the terror of his wartime escape with his heroic mother, their immigrant lives in New York, and a teacher's inspired decision that he could belatedly learn to read English if he learned to write it.
		It reevaluates the Cold War and interweaves Frankel's personal and professional lives with the era's greatest stories, from Sputnik to the Pentagon Papers, from the building of the Berlin Wall to its collapse, all the while tracking the tensions of managing the world's greatest newspaper.

		The memo named the current managing editor, Joseph Lelyveld, who is fifty-seven, as Frankel's successor, and it named as Lelyveld's replacement Eugene L. Roberts, Jr., a former national editor at the Times, who is sixty-one and who left in 1972 to become the executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer--a job he gave up in 1990.
		The decision was provoked by Frankel, who told Sulzberger in March of 1993 that he wanted to accelerate his retirement.

	The Power, the Glory, the 30,000-Word Week
		Young Max and his mother managed to escape Hitler's tyranny, thanks to the indomitable Mary and her -- resourcefulness seems much too weak a word.
		Frankel notes that he bought a house in Chevy Chase, Md., and it eventually yielded a gargantuan profit that parlayed into splendid housing for the rest of his life.
		Frankel digs briefly but deeply into his personal life, specifically his unhappy marriage to a difficult woman.

		While Frankel tries to give the impression that direct US involvement with the counter-revolution had come to an end after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, ex-classified documents contradict this.
		Frankel's portrait of John F. Kennedy is that of a chastised youth who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar:

		The remainder of the book amazed me that Max Frankel lived through and was involved in many of the historic events that occurred during the Cold War.
		Frankel's mother perhaps deserves at the least a book of her own story.
		Mr Frankel's story might be of another brilliant journalist whose professional story alone is worth the telling, and it is. But for me, it is his almost brutal, scalpel-like self-dissecting to reveal to us his inner turmoil in meeting challenges of his life-style and career that riveted me to the book.

		Abe and Max would each have his place in the sun: Abe reigned for 10 years and Max snagged the executive editor job in 1986.
		In the book, Max took several cheap shots at John Oakes, calling him and his board "righteous and predictable liberals" while hyping his own brand of liberalism as "less predictable and more fun." If Oakes had "appeared comfortable" belonging to an all-male Century Club, the enlightened Max had quit to stand up for women.
		Max even faulted Oakes for not resigning after the Moynihan endorsement—conveniently omitting the fact that Punch had already forced Oakes into early retirement.

		To understand Max Frankel's insider-outsider role at the paper, it is, I believe, necessary to step back and look at his formative years.
		And when Frankel relates the famous story of Rosenthal telling a woman reporter, "I don't care if you fuck elephants as long as you're not covering the circus," it is only as a means of explaining how The Times strives to be scrupulous about conflicts of interest.
		Frankel does not convey the sense that he is hiding anything; just that as he ascended the editorial ladder, his perspective changed.

		But Frankel is ready to rock and roll now—and he’s eager to recite pleasing scripts.
		FRANKEL: So too with the claims that President Reagan had been cruelly indifferent to the victims of AIDS…To persuade people of the plausibility of an untruth is not only to lie, but to lie effectively.
		Plainly, this statement is the “forgery”—the “lie”—which Frankel attacks in his piece.

		Max Frankel Calls on Journalists to Bring Attention to "War On Drugs"
		Frankel likens the war on drugs to the war in Vietnam -- a quagmire in which the country is foundering.
		He suggests that journalists cover the monthly "bag count" (the amount of drugs seized by law enforcement) and the photo-ops when politicians pose in front of mounds of drugs, but that they also report that these seizures do nothing to stop the influx of drugs into the major cities.

	AJR - A Detached Yet Revealing Look at the Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When Arthur Sulzberger anointed Max Frankel as executive editor of the New York Times in 1986, Frankel's reaction was telltale: "I said I hoped he knew what this moment meant for a refugee kid from Germany."
		Frankel presided, in his decent and unflashy way, over transformational changes in the world's most eminent newspaper.
		As he looks back and ahead, Frankel recognizes the need for newspapers to be profitable but worries about today's "relentless pursuit of profit [that] panders to commercial interests and causes informative news to be replaced with the inane." Like his book and his career, the observation is balanced and sensible, and worth our attention.

		Despite divulging off-the-record comments from the likes of Nixon, Kissinger and Dean Rusk, Frankel shows that his vaunted diplomatic skills were put to their ultimate test not by such power players but instead when he replaced A.M. Rosenthal as executive editor of the Times in 1986.
		But more compelling is Frankel's quintessentially American success story?that of a young, wide-eyed reporter who becomes a professional witness to the most crucial events of the 20th century.
		Frankel excels as he shares the fear, pain, pride, and accomplishments he experienced during some of the most tumultuous periods in United States and world history.

		While he concludes that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. were never really on the brink of war, Frankel constantly reminds us of how high the stakes were; the balance of geopolitical power with Cuba, Berlin, Turkey and the solidarity of the NATO alliance were all at risk.
		In High Noon in the Cold War: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and the Cuban Missile Crisis (Ballantine, $23.95), former New York Times editor and diplomatic reporter Max Frankel argues that the world did not come as close to nuclear annihilation in 1962 as is commonly believed.
		Frankel has written an exciting, sparsely elegant account of the missile crisis, albeit one that contains little original research.

		When it comes to foreign policy, a country leader must be skilled at bluffing because "diplomacy, by definition, has to be devious," a former New York Times editor told a crowd Saturday at the Sarasota Reading Festival.
		Former editor and author Max Frankel says his book about the Cuban Missile Crisis resonates with an audience that sees the war in Iraq in the newspaper every day.
		It was only after a question from the audience that Frankel discussed Iraq, saying that it seemed as though the U.S. Army had other options to exhaust "before we started killing people." The comment was greeted by applause.
