Clearing the Air

“Clearing the Air” goes beyond the bounds of a dramatic personal story. Schorr gives a vivid reporter's-eye view of the secret government of Watergate and the intelligence agencies and sheds fresh light on the relation between the Kennedy assassination and the CIA's reckless plots to murder Castro. From the inside, he tells how television works, and — in a singular investigation of his own — lifts the veil on the CBS of William S. Paley. Most important, he reveals the pressures, both subtle and blatant, of government on a government-regulated news medium — pressures that ultimately caught him in a perilous crossfire.
