Description: No New York City name was better known than Franklin Pierce Adams, no printed space more coveted than the top of his column, "The Conning Tower." The column appeared consecutively from 1904-1937. No other by-line before or since has matched that record of thirty-three straight years; F.P.A. was the Lou Gehrig of newspaper columnists, and while his column at its height was syndicated in only six papers, everybody read it. - p. 12.
Notes: Bibliography: p. 245-252.
