Light presents a history of the Buffalo News from its founding in 1873 to its present status as one of the nation's most successful independent regional newspapers. Special emphasis is placed on the editorial staff, the editors who guided the publication over the years, and the publishers who presided over the enterprise. Light retired as Senior Vice President of the Buffalo News in 1999 after working for the paper for 50 years. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
