New York: Scribner, c1999. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Fred R, Conrad (Jacket photograph). 24 cm, 415, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Slight soiling to DJ. Inscribed by the author on title page "to one who lives in the White House compound". Helen Amelia Thomas (August 4, 1920 - July 20, 2013) was an American reporter and author best known for her longtime membership in the White House press corps. She covered the White House during the administrations of ten U.S. presidents-from the start of the Kennedy administration to the second year of the Obama administration. Thomas worked for the United Press and post-1958 successor United Press International (UPI) for 57 years, first as a correspondent, and later as White House bureau manager. She then served as a columnist for Hearst Newspapers from 2000 to 2010. Thomas was the first female officer of the National Press Club, the first female member and president of the White House Correspondents' Association and the first female member of the Gridiron Club. Thomas retired from Hearst on June 7, 2010. One of the smartest and most savvy Washington reporters tells her story as a reporter in the White House, from Kennedy to Clinton. From the woman who has reported on every president from Kennedy to Clinton, a unique glimpse into the White House -- and a telling record of the ever-changing relationship between the presidency and the press. She worked her way to Washington after college and, unlike other women reporters who gave up their jobs to returning veterans, parlayed her copy-aide job at the "Washington Daily News" into a twelve-year stint as a radio news writer for UPI. Assigned to the White House press corps in 1961, Thomas was the first woman to close a press conference with "Thank you, Mr. President,". She was among the pioneers who broke down barriers against women in the national media. In this revealing memoir, which includes hundreds of anecdotes, insights, observations, and personal details, Thomas looks back at a career spent with presidents at home and abroad, on the ground and in the air. Providing a unique view of the past four decades of presidential history., Scribner, 3<
