Price: $45.00
Self-published by Heinecken in 1985, the book pairs text, focusing on real 1984 events, with TV stills showing the inexorable transformations of the faces of female anchors into their more senior male counterparts. Anchors include Tom Brokaw, Bryant Gumbel, Diane Sawyer, Jane Pauley, and Joan Lunden. A timely and still relevant critique.
