…Egad, what is this country coming to?…
Indeed. Why do we allow a German publishing giant to determine what may or may not be published in America?
Random House is merely an American imprint–a brand name with no real connection to Bennett Cerf, Alfred Knopf or Donald Klopfer.
Bertelsmann’s human resources policies may be unAmerican as well. According to some, age discrimination at Bertelsmann is SOP with older employees pushed out with no new hires past a certain age.
