Jim Bellows documentary
I am working on tracking down the documentary The Last Editor based on the book by the same name about Jim Bellows. He was married to women’s page editor Maggie Savoy. A chapter in the book is devoted to Maggie. I’ve tried ILL, the national PBS folks and the local PBS affiliate but I have not been able to track it down. Here’s a great blog entry about Jim. This is a photo of Jim with Mary Anne Dolan.
