They had the audacity to fight the powerful Taft family for the right to buy their own newspaper, the Cincinnati Enquirer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The story unfolds in January 1952 in Cincinnati and moves on to the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. Reporters Jim Ratliff and Jack Cronin head the list of major players that also includes the former United States Senator who chaired the Senate investigation of Joseph McCarthy in 1950, two of the wealthiest men in the United States, the most famous family in America, the trust company that sold the Washington Post to Eugene Meyers for $833,000, and over 800 Cincinnati Enquirer employees who risked their homes and life's savings for a chance to own their paper, affectionately known as the Old Lady of Vine Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47566510326013,"sku":"9781440120589","price":30.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/K2lNY3VGTTdYbzI2aGpra3IvbXErZz09.webp?v=1779540847","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-old-lady-of-vine-street-the-valiant-fight-for-the-cincinnati-enquirer-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
