Thanks for the bookmark ping!--appreciate it.

BTW, while we've got some good researchers on this thread, it just occurred to me that Leslie Gelb might be related to Arthur Gelb of the New York Times--anyone happen to know, or could help determine this? Here's a little background info:

Jason Robards, Newspaper Ink Blot

Arthur Gelb, now retired, was a powerful figure at the Times, an intimate of Abe Rosenthal who worked at the paper 55 years and rose to managing editor. For about two decades starting in 1967, when he was metropolitan editor, Gelb controlled the Times' daily cultural coverage.

There's more on the NYT Gelbs in this book:

Susan E. Tifft and Alex S. Jones, The Trust: The Private and Powerful Family Behind the New York Times

Incidentally, in this book there is evidence of the NYT having journalists with a pro-Communist slant all the way back to the Spanish Civil War, and there's also info the NYT role in Castro's rise to power, as well as the anti-Vietnam movement and the Pentagon Papers. There's a big story to be pieced together there.
