“[Rivers] philosophizes occasionally and calls for more self-criticism and purification by the mass media which are such a force in public affairs. ... He discusses with fact and insight the New York Times, Time magazine, Walter Lippman, James Reston, David Brinkley, Drew Pearson and similar potent national phenomena. ... The book, journalistic in tone throughout and highly readable, will appeal to a wide variety of readers in public, school, and college libraries.”– Library Journal
