Title: Privileged son
Subtitle: Otis Chandler and the rise and fall of the L.A. times dynasty
Description: "Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the weighty Chandler dynasty resting precariously on his young shoulders, Otis Chandler was the last great newspaper titan of the 20th Century. Larger than life and legendary for both his personal exploits and his journalistic brilliance, Otis took the helm of the LA Times in the sixties, during one of the most turbulent and interesting periods in America's history.".

"Privileged Son captures in detail the life and times of Otis Chandler in a sweeping narrative that spans, more than a century, when the Chandler dynasty dominated the culture and politics of Southern California. Long known for their political power brokering, Otis' father and grandfather controlled City Hall and the LAPD with an iron fist.

Brandishing money and influence, they used the headlines to control the unions, manipulate real estate prices and elect the politicians of their choosing."--BOOK JACKET.
