Editorial : About the Author For the past half century, Stan Fischler has covered the Ney York subway scene more intensively than any Big Apple journalist-in print and on radio and television. He began his career as subway editor of the New York Journal-American in 1955 and remained on the transit beat for a decade. In addition to his writings on subways, Fischler has also been active on the television side. He wrote and helped produce ten features on New York's system called, "Subway Series," which won prizes for writing and production. Apart from his work in the transportation area, Fischler is renowned in local and national sports circles as "The Hockey Maven," and is recognized as one of the most outspoken authorities on the game of hockey. Fischler's first job out of Brooklyn College was as Rangers' publicist during the 1954-55 season.

This book provides a good starting point to understand the history of the container that brought about the increased velocity of international trade, and how certain ports became hubs for billions of dollars in commerce.. Ceaseless Turmoil: Diaries, 1988-1992 is the eleventh volume of prolific chronicler James Lees-Milne's diaries, and surveys his eighties, where his interest in life is as sharp and astute as ever. Readers aren't afraid of that
