Don A. Schanche papers, 1937-1994.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/477298778

The collection consists of correspondence, writings, books, magazines, article photographs, contact prints, negatives, and several types of audio tapes (including interview and answering machine tapes). There is some family correspondence, but most of it is business-related. The correspondence includes a section regarding the trial of Wallace Butts versus Curtis Publishing Company. While Schanche was editor of Holiday magazine, there was controversy involving his ideas for changing the magazine, and the Holiday correspondence concerns this. The writings are divided into categories of magazines, books, newspapers, reporters notebooks (circa 1950-1991), and a diary (1977-1985). While working for Life magazine, Schanche was a ghost-writer for the Project Mercury astronauts. The writings for his book include typescripts, galley proofs, and reviews for Bobst, Man High, Mister Pop and Panther Paradox. Schanche worked for the International News Service as a Korea war correspondent from 1949-1952. As a newspaper reporter for the Los Angeles Times in the Rome Bureau, Schanche traveled extensively with Pope John Paul II. Included are reporter notebooks, reporter diaries, press passes, clippings of the new stories and the news copy submitted by Schanche.
