{"value"=>"<p>Articles, arranged chronologically, cover Barbara Goldsmith's journalistic work dating from 1954 to 2012 and include original published articles, research material, notes, drafts, and a few photographs. Topics include local community news, book reviews, travel, and culture. Many articles that Goldsmith wrote for her column, \"The Creative Environment\" in <span class=\"title\">Town & Country</span> magazine in the mid-1960s are included. Goldsmith frequently interviewed celebrity artists, filmmakers, actors, and architects for her columns, and some transcripts from these are included. Goldsmith was one of the founding editors of <span class=\"title\">New York</span> magazine. <span class=\"title\">New York</span>'s first issue from April 1968 and many of her subsequent articles for the magazine, including \"La Dolce Viva,\" a splashy profile of actress and Andy Warhol associate, Viva, are present. \"La Dolce Viva,\" was included in Tom Wolfe's <span class=\"title\">The New Journalism</span> anthology, first published in 1973. Files include articles Goldsmith wrote for <span class=\"title\">Vanity Fair</span>, <span class=\"title\">Parents</span>, <span class=\"title\">Architectural Digest</span>, <span class=\"title\">Parade</span>, <span class=\"title\">The New Yorker</span>, and others. Files on her work as senior editor at <span class=\"title\">Harper's Bazaar</span> in the early 1970s are also present.</p> <p>Article topics occasionally led to book-length treatments, as is the case with several articles on The Metropolitan Museum of Artand art curator Thomas Hoving that later informed Goldsmith's novel, <span class=\"title\">The Straw Man</span>. More frequently, Goldsmith distilled her non-fiction books down to article length after publication of the books; articles on the Vanderbilt family (<span class=\"title\">Little Gloria…Happy at Last</span>) and Marie Curie (<span class=\"title\">Obsessive Genius</span>) are examples. A two-part article on the Johnson family published in <span class=\"title\">Vanity Fair</span> preceded the publication of <span class=\"title\">Johnson v. Johnson</span> by a few months. Several articles on paper preservation coincide with Goldsmith's advocacy on this issue. There is some overlap between topics and titles of Speeches with those of Articles, as well.</p> <p>Correspondence with article interviewees, editors, and readers are frequently included in these files. In a few instances, follow-up correspondence filed with the article to which it relates is dated much later than the original article. Biographical sketches of Goldsmith and a few articles written by others about Goldsmith are also included. A thesis written by an undergraduate student discussing Tom Wolfe's \"New Journalism\" concept and Goldsmith's response to the student are also included.</p>"}
