The Outpouring of Support
Sir Harold Evans Sir Harold Evans was the editor of The Sunday Times from 1967 to 1981 and the Times in 1981. From 1990 until 1997, he was the president and publisher of Random House, and later the editorial director for US News and World Report, the New York Daily News, and The Atlantic Monthly. He edited three books by Henry Kissinger, My American Journey by Colin Powell, Game Plan: How to Conduct the U.S. Soviet Contest by Zbiginew Brzezinski; Debt and Danger: The World Economic Crisis by Harold Lever; and The Yom Kippur War by The Insight Team of The Sunday Times. He is additionally the author, in association with Edwin Taylor, of Pictures on a Page. Continuously in print for 37 years, the publication is the culmination of a five-volume series on editing and design featuring interviews by Henri Cartier Bresson, Bert Stern, Harry Benson, Bill Brandt, Eddie Adams, Andre Kertesz, Eugene Smith, and Richard Avedon. Evans' best known work, The American Century, won critical acclaim when published in 1998, staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 10 weeks. The sequel, They Made America (2004), describes the lives of some of the country's most important inventors and innovators, and was named by Fortune as one of the best books in the 75 years of that magazine's publication. The latter was adapted as a four-part television mini-series that same year and as a National Public Radio special in the USA in 2005. sirharoldevans.com Dedicated to the public exploration of the early history of New Amsterdam and New York City April 1, 2020 Hon.

Photographs by Morley Baer. Flagstaff, Ariz.: Northland Press, 1979. Pp. vi, 75. Illus. $20.00. RECENT PUBLICATIONS INDICATE a resurgence of interest in the life and works of Mary Hunter Austin. The person most responsible for this revival is T. M. Pearce, who has contributed the largest share to the collection of writings about Mary Austin with publication of his Beloved House in 1940, Mary Hunter Austin in 1970, and with Literary America 1903-1934: The Mary Austin Letters in 1979. While Pearce's previous studies have been largely biographical in nature, Literary America helps to place Austin in perspective among her peers as one of the most highly-respected writers of the first three decades of the twentieth cen tury.
