The Glossy Rats by David Cort HC 1967 DJ
This is a fascinating collection of essays by a former foreign editor of Life Magazine, David Cort, written at a time when journalists actually had and used their freedom of speech. One of America's truly original writers peers at contemporary man and the world he creates and inherits. Opinion with a cutting edge in essays encompassing culture, leisure, politics, death & taxes ranging from Madison Avenue Foreign Policy and The Strange Case of Negro Superiority to Margaret Mead for President, The Many Splendored Communist, Public Art or Litter, and more. There are some random marks on the dustjacket, some wear on the headcap and along the top of the back cover. The front flap is price clipped. There is writing and one stamp on the front freesheet. The back freesheet is torn, the corner folded down on the next on the house sheet, and the binding is beginning to separate at that point, (see photos). 7
