Robert Metz is the author
of “CBS –
Reflections In a Bloodshot Eye”, the story of William S.
Paley and the
creation of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Robert Metz "... takes
the reader on an intimate tour - personal and
historical of
one of the most glamorous and influential corporations on earth..."
It's a very interesting book of facts and stories. Robert Metz is a former Market Place columnist of The New York Times. To quote one contemporary review: "The bloodiest CBS dramas aren't on TV. They are in this inside story of one of the most glamorous and influential corporations on earth where - in an era that stretches from Amos n Andy to All in the Family - you'll read how stars and executives can skyrocket to glory, but lose everything at the drop of a rating point. A 1975 book, so most of the names may not be familiar to readers. But the few who are are still big names, and the anecdotes told are timeless as they are priceless." |
