SUMMARY:Bill Sanderson reads from his debut Bulletins From Dallas
DESCRIPTION:An in-depth look at one of the twentieth century’s star reporters and his biggest story. \nThanks to one reporter’s skill\, we can fix the exact moment on November 22\, 1963 when the world stopped and held its breath: At 12:34 p.m. Central Time\, UPI White House reporter Merriman Smith broke the news that shots had been fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade. Most people think Walter Cronkite was the first to tell America about the assassination. But when Cronkite broke the news on TV\, he read from one of Smith’s dispatches. At Parkland Hospital\, Smith saw President Kennedy’s blood-soaked body in the back of his limousine before the emergency room attendants arrived. Two hours later\, he was one of three journalists to witness President Johnson’s swearing-in aboard Air Force One. Smith rightly won a Pulitzer Prize for the vivid story he wrote for the next day’s morning newspapers. \nSmith’s scoop is journalism legend. But the full story of how he pulled off the most amazing reportorial coup has never been told. As the top White House reporter of his time\, Smith was a bona fide celebrity and even a regular on late-night TV. But he has never been the subject of a biography. \nWith access to a trove of Smith’s personal letters and papers and through interviews with Smith’s family and colleagues\, veteran news reporter Bill Sanderson will crack open the legend. Bulletins from Dallas will tell for the first time how Smith beat his competition on the story\, and will show how the biggest scoop of his career foreshadowed his personal downfall.
