Meanwhile, Fairchild has plenty to occupy him in just churning out Women's Wear and battling for the midi. Field headquarters for the fray is Fairchild Publishing's grubby third-floor editorial room, a noisy, bare-floored relic straight out of Front Page, where editors shout and ink-stained copy boys scurry. A few feet away from Fairchild's scarred, wooden desk sits Publisher Brady, who starts the day at WWD by calling the top editors together for a brutal analysis of that morning's issue.

Greenberg's contribution is as imaginative as it is scholarly, and the scholarship is always-refreshingly-below the surface. In short, Greenberg managed to infuse life into this textbook relic but never forced his own personality...
