From a Wall Street Journal review by James Rosen of the book by Lance Morrow titled “The Noise of Typewriters: Remembering Journalism”:

“I have done nothing memorable in my life,” declares Lance Morrow, “and yet all around me, things have happened.” Only the second part of that statement is true. Mr. Morrow, for many years an essayist at Time magazine, looks back on a long and eventful career in journalism in “The Noise of Typewriters,” a memoir that is less a sequential narrative than a series of impressions and vignettes, unabashedly digressive, invariably provocative.
