He brought to political reporting the

sensibilities of a literary critic. For

thirty years--from 1948 until his

death in 1978 Richard Rovere's peri-

odic Letter from Washington for The

New Yorker brilliantly assessed the

American political arena in a way

unmatched by any other journalist.

Now, in this autobiographical volume,

incomplete at his death, Mr. Rovere

reexamines his life and times in a

memoir that is no less than a political

and literary portrait of an entire era.

Rich in personal perspective, FINAL

REPORTS stands as an altogether fitting

recapitulation of Richard Rovere's

lifework: both as a record of the

national spectacle of government and

an absorbing journal of self-scrutiny.
