My Times in black and white : race and power at the New York times / by Boyd, Gerald M.(CARDINAL)498074;
Loss and love -- Seeds of ambition -- From Uganda X to cub reporter -- Growing but restless -- Fresh starts -- D.C. grind -- Fast tracked -- My Times -- Shifting priorities and alliances -- Joy and heartbreak -- The outsiders -- The greatest story -- Managing up, managing down -- The makings of a scandal -- Inquisition -- Free fall -- A time for good-byes.After a career of many firsts, journalist Gerald Boyd became the first black managing editor of the "New York Times." But the dream ended abruptly with Boyd's forced resignation in the wake of scandal over Jayson Blair, a reporter who had plagiarized and fabricated news stories. A rare inside view of power and behind-the-scenes politics at the nation's premier newspaper, "My Times in Black and White "is the inspirational tale of a man who rose from urban poverty to the top of his field, struggling against white dominated media, tearing down racial barriers, and all the while documenting the most extraordinary events of the latter twentieth century.

The "Shambhala Project" -- Ch. 19. The Guru -- Ch. 20. The Cousins Discover Tibet -- Ch. 21. Swastikas to Lhasa -- Ch. 22. High Mischief -- Epilogue: The Owl of Minerva."The world's oldest established imperial rivalry had its start during the Napoleonic age when British agents came upon the tracks of Russian rivals in snowbound Tibet, and then again in mythic Bokhara, deep in Central Asia. Was the Tsar planning to invade India, or even worse, was Russia bent on global dominion? To foil these real or imagined schemes, the British twice invaded Afghanistan, and in 1904 dispatched an army to Lhasa to check Tsarist designs on Tibet."--BOOK JACKET. "This was classic Great Game, which took on fresh life after the Russian Revolution and as Americans joined in, and which continues today in the covert struggle for mastery of the Caspian Sea and its oil riches. The whole story is here retold in a flowing narrative crammed with revealing detail, drawing on newly opened archives and recent research, a canvas filled with memorable men and women, taking the reader over Himalayan passes and through the world's deadliest deserts."--BOOK JACKET.
