Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 304 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Television has changed drastically in the Soviet Union over the last three decades. In 1960, only five percent of the population had access to TV, but now the viewing population has reached near total saturation. Today's main source of information in the USSR, television has become Mikhail Gorbachev's most powerful instrument for paving the way for major reform.Containing a wealth of interviews with major Soviet and American media figures and fascinating descriptions of Soviet TV shows, Ellen Mickiewicz's wide-ranging, vividly written volume compares over one hundred hours of Soviet and American television, covering programs broadcast during both the Chernenko and Gorbachev governments. Mickiewicz describes the enormous significance and popularity of news programs and discusses how Soviet journalists work in the United States.

First edition, first printing, signed by the author on an inserted blank. Barkley served as 35th Vice President from 1949 to 1953. He had previously represented Kentucky as a Democrat in the House of Representatives and then the Senate from 1913 to 1949. He was a widely popular figure, and Truman selecting him as his running mate is seen as a major contributor to his surprise victory against Thomas Dewey in the 1948 presidential election. His memoir, occasioned by his 77th birthday, tells his story from his humble beginning as a janitor working his way through college to the top of the political system. The tone is humorous, anecdotal, and somewhat rambling. Octavo. Original grey cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Brochure for the book loosely inserted. Very slight rubbing at extremities; unclipped jacket with minor chipping at extremities. A near-fine copy in very good jacket.…
