{"value"=>"<p>This series is made up of files that contain items to, from, or concerning various individuals, such as <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span> publishers and staff members and Reston's personal and professional contacts outside of <span class=\"title\">The Times</span>. Present are letters to Reston and carbon copy responses from either Reston or his personal assistant in New York, Herbert Andree, written on his behalf. Additional items include memoranda that Reston was copied on. Letters typically concern Reston's columns, administrative and operational matters related to the News Department in New York and the Washington Bureau, or feature discussions of news events, politics, and journalism. The majority of these records are from Reston's tenure as vice president (1969-1974). A small amount of items are personal in nature.</p> <p>Files are arranged alphabetically by name. Entries without box and folder numbers cross-reference related material in other files. These files do not necessarily collect every letter, memorandum, or document related to the individual; subject files should also be consulted. Miscellaneous Correspondence files are organized by last name within each folder and contain a contributor, recipient, or subject list.</p>"}
