The Trust The Private and Powerful Family Behind the New York Times

Through their dynastic control of The NY Times, the Ochses & Sulzbergers have been the most powerful family in 20th-century America. Not only have they owned the Times for more than 100 years, but a family member has always been at the paper's helm, a position that has given them enormous influence & has been passed down as a birthright through 4 generations. Yet they have always been intensely private, shunning the visibility their stature inherently commands. This is the first full-scale portrait of this modern monarchy, a dramatic saga set against a backdrop of world events & the burden & privilege of wealth & power. Tells the story of how the domestic drama of one extraordinary clan shaped the pages of the world's greatest newspaper. Photos.
