Mining newspaper files and the deep archives and journalistic expertise of the Newseum, an interactive museum of news located in Washington, D.C., Outrage, Passion and Uncommon Sense examines decisive issues and events in U.S. history through the nation's editorial pages. Approximately fifty editorials are reprinted here on topics ranging from suffrage and race to war and politics—even Christmas—with probing analysis by Gartner. "Editorials are the soul of the newspaper," Gartner says in the book's introduction. "Maybe the heart and the soul. And, on a good newspaper that knows and understands and loves its hometown, or its home country, the editorial is the heart and the soul of the town, or the nation, as well." Readers will also see a visual account of the era through two-color illustrations, showcasing editorial cartoons, photographs and typographic details from period newspapers. Outrage, Passion and Uncommon Sense is a vital, significant collection that portrays the undeniable influence one editorial can have on this country in some of its most difficult times.

In 1968, two huge U.S. railroads, the Pennsylvania and the New York Central, combined into a behemoth that was supposed to help revolutionize the U.S. railroad system.  In 1970, the merged railroad went bust.  How did it happen?How did one of the largest corporations in America end up in bankruptcy court? How could any company lose a record $431 million in one year? And equally important, how could this gigantic company go down without pulling a lot of other corporations down with it?  The Wall Street Journal, a unique newspaper that is the second largest daily in America, probed for and found the answers to these questions. Its reporters bring you the inside story about the bickering, the confusion, the politics that hurt the big company. And they tell you more - about a group of officers who bailed out of the company just before its problems became public knowledge, and about a big brokerage firm that led a double life in the months just before the railroad's collapse.  This book, which contains a dozen or so of the more important and interesting stories The Journal turned up, is a chronicle of a classic case, the likes of which America had never seen in the past and isn't likely to see again in the future.
