Nagourney recounts the paper's triumphs-the coverage of September 11, the explosion of the U.S. Challenger, the scandal of a New York governor snared in a prostitution case-as well as failures that threatened the paper's standing and reputation, including the discredited coverage of the war in Iraq, the resignation of Judith Miller, the plagiarism scandal of Jayson Blair, and the high-profile ouster of two of its executive editors.
