Arthur W. Page was arguably the most influential public relations practitioner of the 20th century. After graduating from Harvard in 1905, he began his career as a staffer for and then editor of the World’s Work magazine, rising to a partnership in the publishing house of Doubleday, Page & Co. He left Doubleday in 1926 to become the public relations vice president of AT&T, serving in that job to retirement in 1946. From 1946 to his death in 1960, he was a public relations consultant and Cold Warrior. As an American persuader and patriot, he served as a propagandist on “Black Jack” Pershing’s staff in France during World War I; was Henry Stimson’s press secretary at the 1930 London Naval Conference; oversaw troop information for the American invasion of Normandy in World War II, and wrote President Harry Truman’s announcement of the first use of the atom bomb at Hiroshima.

New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer

More people die annually of lung cancer in the United States than of breast, prostate and colon cancer combined, notes Noel Griese, author of "New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer." Griese's book, written for the 90 million past and present smokers in the U.S., presents sobering facts, including the statistic that smoking shortens the lives of American females by 14.5 years and males by 13.2 years. While lung cancer is the most deadly form of cancer, it is also the most preventable, Griese says. He details lifestyle changes that greatly reduce risk. Prominent among these is to quit smoking. The book offers detailed information about how to do that. The author also details exercise and nutrient regimens that reduce cancer risk. Griese, editor of "Current CancerNews" newsletter, is a past state director of the American Lung Association and American Cancer Society, and has been a state chairman of the Great American Smokeout.

However, the frustration that usually accompanies crisis can quickly turn those noble emotions sour, with anger and outrage the result.
