...Also, if you haven’t yet read it, another fascinating part of Schorr’s legacy is his book of selected works, 1972-78: Forgive Us Our Press Passes, covering the period after he was named on President Richard Nixon’s notorious “enemies list.”
And the Christian Science Monitor has republished Schorr’s first article for that outlet—this 1948 report from the Netherlands, covering the launch of Europe’s first attempt at forming a united congress.
