Ben Bradlee says of
Abe Rosenthal: "By adding all those sections, he completed The Times; he presided over a real revolution in the paper; and they became as good as they thought they were. I wanted to beat his brains out, but he was a lovely guy, and I really liked him a lot."
Charles Kaiser writes that the late Times executive editor "inspired more admiration, emulation and vilification than any other journalist of his generation."
