[edit] Jessica Mitford

These brilliant articles, some of which made not only waves but policy, are now preserved as a book - a terrific bonus for those of us who read them riveted when they first appeared in magazines. Fascinating blow-by-blow descriptions of how they did it."^[1].

[edit] Mike Wallace

You are about to emback on a series of first-rate short stories - detective stories, in a sense. Some of them have the crisp kinetic energy of a good film chase; others, the gritty wisdom of lessons learned hard at first hand ..about as eloquent an understanding of what it is we do...as I have come across.^[2]
