Barrett McGurn was a onetime foreign correspondent who was the Supreme Court's first press secretary, Mr. McGurn worked for the court from 1973 until 1982. He distributed the court's decisions to the media and responded to inquiries. He was also the personal assistant to Chief Justice Warren Burger. William Barrett McGurn Jr. was born in New York. He graduated from Fordham University in 1935. After college, he worked for the New York Herald Tribune and was an Army journalist during World War II for Yank magazine. After the war, he became the Herald Tribune's bureau chief in Rome and Paris and covered the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In 1966, Mr. McGurn joined the State Department as press attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. He later became a press officer at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon during the Vietnam War. In 1969, he moved to State Department headquarters in Washington. He wrote five books. For more than two centuries, the U.S. Supreme Court has served as the most powerful court in the world. Throughout its history, however, little has been known about the inner workings of "America's Court". During the 1950s and 1960s, a period marked by increased Court activism and intervention in American life, public interest in the Court and its Justices also grew, and it became evident to the Court's Justices that the Court would have to begin interacting with the American public. Then, in 1973, Barrett McGurn, a seasoned newsman, was appointed as the Court's first Public Information Officer, where he served until mid-1982 - an eye-witness to many watershed events, from the turbulence of Watergate to the excitement surrounding the appointment of the Court's first woman Justice. In this book, McGurn describes the intricate and often erratic relationship among the Justices, the public and the media, taking the reader behind the scenes of this secretive body and opening the Court to the people it serves.

Derived from a Kirkus review: Barrett McGurn follows up his A Reporter Looks at the Vatican with this new book in the Catholic Perspectives series which is aimed at "the average Catholic and interested non-Catholic reader--especially the layman--who wants reliable information in clear and attractive language" and presented with the purpose of exploring and clarifying key areas of change and renewal in the Church as a result of the Second Vatican Council. McGurn, a veteran correspondent posted in Rome by the New York Herald Tribune, covered the Councils, and here assesses the past, present and future of American Catholicism. What is happening to the stance and status of the layman, the religious, the clergy? The man in the pew is no longer mute, there is a "new" nun, the question of celibacy for the priesthood has been raised. McGurn touches all bases--birth control, the shortcomings of "the world's largest private school system,", a-politically. This should reach the market it is intended for, particularly the Catholic layman; it informs. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
