Seldes, George (1890-1995). American investigative journalist, foreign correspondent, editor, author and media critic.

The Investigative Journalist George Seldes Writes to Educator Harold Rugg Concerning the Possibility of Lecture.

Norwalk, CT: February 1, 1949. 1949. - Typed letter on an approximately 6-3/4 inch high by 6 inch wide sheet of his personalized letterhead with the last paragraph on a second sheet. Signed "George". The top left corner of each sheet is slightly creased. The date "November 17" is penned below the letter. Folded once for mailing. Very good. Seldes answers a letter from Harold Rugg of Columbia University's Teacher's College inviting him to give a talk at one of Rugg's lunchtime forums. Seldes writes that his dread of public speaking is such that he never accepts such invitations, but he is reluctant to say no in this case. He would prefer just to answer questions, or alternatively, as a starting off point for discussion, he could prepare a 30-minute summary of his upcoming book on Europe, "giving my conclusions regarding the situation vis-a-vis American 'defense' plans; the new 'people's democracies'; the world turn to the left; the Cominform vs. Tito; the opposition to the Marshall Plan in Marshall Plan nations; and a score of subjects about which the American press misinforms the American people." George Seldes [1890-1995] was an American investigative journalist, foreign correspondent, editor, author and media critic. He is best known for publishing the newsletter "In Fact" from 1940 to 1950. Seldes influenced and was greatly admired by a whole generation of journalists and activists such as Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy, Nat Hentoff and Ralph Nader. One of the best-known educators during the Progressive era of education, Harold Rugg (1886-1960) was a professor of education at Teachers College of Columbia University. A Civil Engineer, he had become interested in how students learn and pursued a doctorate in education. He was responsible for producing the very first series of school textbooks from 1929 until the 1940s. Very good .

Sullivan, Mark. (1874-1952). An American author and journalist, he was the leading political reporter and columnist of his day.

A Slip of Paper Signed by Mark Sullivan, a Leading American Political Reporter and Columnist of His Day.

Circa [1930's]. [1930's]. Circa [1930's]. [1930's]. Good. - A slip of blue paper, approximately 1-3/4 inches high by 4 inches wide, is signed "Mark Sullivan",The top & bottom edges of the paper are uneven & the margins are darkened. Notes in another hand are penciled on the verso. Good. Mark Sullivan [1874-1952] was among the most widely respected journalists of his day. One of the original muckrakers, he became America's leading political reporter and columnist for nearly fifty years. A committed Republican, he had unequaled access to his party's leaders, including Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Harding. Between 1926 and 1935 Sullivan wrote a major work of popular history, "Our Times", a six volume work covering the period 1900-1925 when, as he saw it, America emerged onto the world stage, triumphing in the Great War and then retreating into the materialism and self-absorption of the Twenties. Probably no other nonfiction series ever sold so well and was so widely read and acclaimed or had such a lasting reputation for excellence. [Information from Dan Rather, American Heritage, May/June 1996. Rather condensed Sullivan's "Our Times" into a new one-volume edition]. Good .

Early, Joseph J. (d. 1949). Publisher of the Brooklyn Times Union (1924-27).

Typed Letter Signed by Joseph J. Early, Publisher of the Brooklyn Times Union, Sending His Autograph to a Future Congressman.

Brooklyn, NY: December 10, 1936. 1936. - Typed letter filling most of an 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide cream-colored sheet of Brooklyn Times Union letterhead. Signed "Joseph J. Early". The edges & corners of the letter are lightly creased & its bottom edge is darkened. There are a few short tears to the edges & a small piece out at bottom right. Folded twice for mailing. Good. Early sends a warm letter and his autograph to future congressman Seymour Halpern, then a young autograph collector. Halpern is the son of an old friend of Early: "Be sure to give my kindest regards to your good Father. He is a gem. He was one of my valued and old friends at Albany and while we see each other seldom, I value him highly and you are a lucky chap to be his son". Early also encourages Halpern in his pursuit of a career. Joseph J. Early served as president of the Legislative Correspondents Association in Albany in 1912. He was the president and publisher of The Brooklyn Times Union from 1924 to 1927. He later served as legislative representative for the New York State Publishers Association and the Associated Dailies of New York State. He died in 1949. The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Good .

A head-and shoulders portrait of Garvin seated at a desk with his arms folded over a pile of papers. The photo is inscribed to future Congressman Seymour Halpern, then a young autograph collector. James Louis Garvin [1868-1947] was a British journalist, editor and author. Garvin, who had always wanted to be an editor, was given a job as a proof reader and occasional contributor at the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. In 1908, after years of honing his skills as a journalist at various newspapers and moving to London, he accepted the editorship of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer. He revolutionized Sunday journalism and returned the paper, which was facing financial troubles at the time, to profitability. In 1921, Garvin moved to Beaconsfield, continuing to edit The Observer and starting work on a biography of his hero Joseph Chamberlain. After Churchill, an old friend, became Prime Minister in 1940, Garvin offered him unstinting support. This led to disagreements with the proprietors, the Astor family, who asked him to resign. He continued writing weekly columns, first for the Sunday Express and then the Daily Telegraph until shortly before his death in 1947. The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress.

Adams, Samuel Hopkins (1871-1958). Muckraking investigative journalist and author of then scandalous novels.

Autograph: Close of a Letter with Sentiments Signed by the Muckraking Investigative Journalist Samuel Hopkins Adams Who Also Penned Several Scandalous Novels.

Hibernia, Florida, February 3, 1927. 1927. - Samuel Hopkins Adams signature on a 1-1/4 inch high by 5 inch wide piece of paper clipped from the bottom of a letter. "Yours very truly / Samuel Hopkins Adams / Hibernia, Fla. Feb. 3d 1927". Three-quarters of the paper is darkened. There are remnants of mounting tape and a penciled note on the verso. Very good. The American writer and muckraking investigative journalist Samuel Hopkins Adams (1871-1958) started his career with the New York Sun. Moving on, his subsequent articles for McClure's magazine exposing the conditions of public health in the U.S. earned him a reputation as a muckraker. He worked with Lincoln Steffens, Ida Tarbell, and Ray Stannard Baker on McClure's editorial staff. Collier's hired him to prepare a series of 11 articles on patent medicine which were published as "The Great American Fraud". Although his articles led to the passing of the "Pure Food and Drug Act" in 1906, the Supreme Court later ruled that the prohibition of falsifications referred only to the ingredients in the medicine. Adams pursued the subject, wrote another series of articles and, in 1914, wrote "The Clarion", an article criticizing newspapers for printing advertisements for such medicines. Starting in the 1920's, Adams wrote several risque novels about young women "flappers" under the pseudonym of Warner Fabian. Bestsellers with Jazz Age youth, these novels freely explored the sexual urges of young women with shocking frankness. Many of these novels were subsequently made into movies. Colleen Moore starred in "Flaming Youth", Mary Astor in "Sailors' Wives", and Clara Bow in "The Wild Party". Very good .
