Publisher's Comments
Mitigates some of the negative views about Kentucky newspaper publisher Bingham (1871-1937) that came out after the breakup of the dynasty in 1986, describing his strengths as well as weaknesses and refuting some of the charges against him. In particular he is often accused of killing both his wives, one in order to get his hands on a fortune to buy a Louisville newspaper. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
