FINE.* Illustrations: Two 4pp blocks of B/w photos.* Pages: 152 pp. text. ix pp. Index and blank pages at rear.*Description: Clubman, yachtsman and bon viveur Johnnie Coote modestly suggested in the first volume of his autobiography, "Submariner", that he was endowed with a measure of indifference to hardship and the other occupational hazards of submarine warfare. Now he tells how a different but equally desirable form of courage was called for when he left the Royal Navy soon after promotion to Captain and entered the jungle of Fleet Street as an executive trainee in Beaverbrook Newspapers.* A FINE copy with NO MAJOR FAULTS. No dust jacket.* He tells how they refused to see they were digging their own graves; and of happier encounters with such titans of the Street as John Gordon, Hugh Cudlipp, John Junor, Chapman Pincher, Charles Wintour and the ageing Canadian autocrat who held nearly all the voting shares. The pace of work, and of play, was hectic, calling for the stamina of a team of oxen. But, unlike most of its competitors, the "Express" had failed to diversify its interests, and the writing was on the wall. Johnnie Coote tells with some sadness of the twilight of the greatest days of Fleet Street and how his far-seeing survival plan fell victim to others' ambitions and blind optimism. He ends on a happier note, describing some of the joys of retirement, with time to read and write, to support the Chichester theatre, go sailing, play Real Tennis and visit his favourite watering-holes, the Garrick Club and the Royal Yacht Squadron.
