(B&W photographs) "The Amazing Story of a Fabulous Newspaper," that being the legendary New York Evening Graphic, which nurtured (spawned?) a whole slew of notable and notorious talents, including Walter Winchell, Jerry Wald, Ed Sullivan, and Samuel Fuller; even director John Huston served a very brief stint as a reporter in the early 1930s. The Graphic, published by Bernarr Macfadden, was the granddaddy of all trashy tabloids, not above stooping to bribery or other unsavory means to get scandalous stories and explicit photos -- and not hestitating to fake the latter if the real thing wasn't good enough. The book "is a sensational biography of an erratic, spectacular and fabulous newspaper. It's also an album of Americana, a revealing, unvarnished chronicle of the golden era of speakeasies, marijuana, hop, flop and slop joints, the flapper, street walkers, jazz and butter and egg men.".
