On the September 10, 2016 edition of "The New York Times Close Up," hosted by Sam Roberts:
- Mark Thompson, the New York Times President and Chief Executive Officer, has listened to more than his share of commentary, and political rhetoric and read equal reams of the same. But undeterred, he's written his own book, "Enough Said.: What's Gone Wrong with the Language of Politics." It’s reviewed in this Sunday’s Times Book Review.
- Lynne B. Sagalyn assesses the 9/11 aftermath with her book "Power at Ground Zero: Politics, Money, and the Remaking of Lower Manhattan."
- Metro Reporter Michael Wilson was on duty one wintry day when he was told a plane was going down in the Hudson River. The man credited with the daring landing, Captain Chesley B.Sullenberger the third, became a reluctant hero when passengers and crew all made it out alive. Mike tells us about his day and how Director Clint Eastwood tells it with "Sully" starring Tom Hanks.
- And New York Times journalists - Contributing Writer Clyde Haberman, Deputy Politics Editor Gerry Mullany, Media Correspondent Michael Grynbaum, and City Hall Bureau Reporter William Neuman discuss the week’s lead stories.
