When Punch assumed the top job in 1963, the senior nonfamily executive was Amory Bradford, a tall and intimidating man who had long bullied Punch and dismissed him as a hapless nitwit. Punch was, in fact, an ex-Marine who became a great publisher responsible for things like bringing to light the Pentagon Papers, but in those days he wandered the corridors as a junior executive with little to do.Punch’s brother-in-law Orvil Dryfoos was the family member at the top, and when he died suddenly of a heart attack, there was a succession crisis. Should the family turn to the untried Punch? Or should it — as Amory assumed it would — turn to him?At the New York Times, blood trumps. But Punch refused to take the job of publisher unless it was understood that his first act would be to fire Amory. He promptly did so, to Amory’s utter shock and fury. Three decades later, an octogenarian Amory was working as a nude massage therapist on an island off the coast of South Carolina, and was still furious.

Loved this bit.

NY Times put an unexpurgated "I'm fucked" on page one today. A landmark.
