Description
In the autumn of 1945, Hedley Donovan began work as a writer for Fortune magazine. Thirty-four years later, he stepped down as the editor-in-chief of Time Inc., a "richly privileged position" he had controlled and deeply loved for fifteen years. Right Places, Right Times is Donovan's wise and engaging insider's account of how the world's largest and most influential media operation worked day to day. From the difficult, colorful characters on staff at Fortune to the real story of what happened to Life, from the curious personal foibles of the legendary Henry Luce to Time's manipulation of public sentiment and opinion, Donovan recounts the challenge of overseeing the magazines that became crucial documents of the American experience during some of the most turbulent and vital years in this country's history.
