Harold Evans
And another aside from the business of our own books. Harold Evans is in town. He is doing the rounds promoting his latest book: My Paper Chase. He left the Sunday Times and the world of newspapers at News International to go into publishing at Random House. Shortly after joining RH myself I had the pleasure during my brief foray in New York to play table tennis with him at a number of sales conferences. He was a considerable hand at ping pong – too wiley for me. Shortly thereafter, I left RH to come back to the UK to join News International to work with the Sunday Times, Times, and their tabloid stablemates as well as Sky and HarperCollins. At 81 he still has a lot to say about the future of print and journalism in particular. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/05/harold-evans-interviewed-alan-rusbridger
