A Bad Morning at The New York Times
Gerald Boyd was a classic specimen of the self-made man. Born poor, he worked and studied his way up out of poverty under the guidance of his widowed grandmother. Childhood was work and study, study and work, and though they do not always guarantee success, for Gerald Boyd they did just what movies, books, and professional moralizers said they would do, probably because his widowed grandmother contributed a lot of wisdom, love, and iron to the self-making; and in his early fifties Gerald Boyd became managing editor of The New York Times. This was the second most important job in the newsroom of one of the world’s better newspapers. He was the first black ever to reach such a dazzling position in theTimes hierarchy, and the gaudiest job of all—the executive editorship—seemed within his reach almost until the very moment he was fired.

Q&A: Pete Hamill Talks About Newspapers,
Fiction and Life With Keyboard and Pen
Pete Hamill ponders his words during an interview in New York City in 2007.
Pete Hamill has lived the kind of life some author might latch onto down the road as a good blueprint for a script.
Born in Brooklyn in June, 1935, the eldest of seven first-generation Hamill kids with parents who immigrated from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Teenage sheet metal worker at the Brooklyn Navy Yards who earned his high school GED while serving in the military. Wide-eyed art and writing student at Mexico City College and then night school design student at Pratt Institute, taking advantage of the GI Bill of Rights.
Columnist for the New York Post, Daily News and Newsday who covered wars in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Lebanon and Northern Ireland.
Diligent producer of essays, articles and fiction who’s currently working on “the closing pages” for novel No. 11.
A full life, indeed.
Yet ask Pete Hamill to describe what he is, and he answers in one word.
Writer.
Hamill takes a 3 p.m. phone call two days before Thanksgiving for an afternoon phone interview from his home in Manhattan. There’s wisdom in his well-seasoned New Yorker voice as he talks about life.
He says he started working on his novel at 9:30 a.m. and needed to come up for air anyway. [Click for MORE]

Launching sometime early next year, Skiff-enabled devices will produce products far-and-above the similarly-proposed Time Inc. and Conde Nast digital magazines because, as Hearst media president Kenneth A. Bronfin told The Wall Street Journal, "We are going to create an entity by publishers, for publishers." [Click for MORE]
