One small oversight in Cottrell’s book is in his account of Baldwin’s concern about the possible hiring of Ira Glasser as executive director in 1978 because of Glasser’s "New York Jewishness." That is an accurate account, although as chair of the search committee that recommended the selection of Ira to the board I never heard it directly from Roger. What Cottrell fails to note, when he writes that Baldwin and some others "wondered whether a Jew could lead an already unpopular organization and communicate forcefully and effectively with different groups" (381), is that Ira’s immediate predecessor for a decade, Aryeh Neier, was also Jewish, as was Norman Dorsen, who had succeeded Edward Ennis as board president in 1976.
