  "Still, "The Godfather of Tabloid" is an engaging saga of one man's obsessive devotion to creating an entertaining alternative universe each week for four or five million Americans clutching their quarters at the supermarket check-out racks (which he conveniently owned). Pope's Boswell, Jack Vitek, a onetime newspaperman now a journalism professor, gives him a little too much of the dubious credit for the tabloid bent of much of American pop culture today. But it's fair to say that the man who sold 6.3 million copies with the headline "Drinking Beer Prevents Heart Attacks" deserves his due." -EDWARD KOSNER

• Library Journal (Tuesday , July 15, 2008):
  The so-called conservative religious right may be more influential now than ever before, but it was quite capable of engendering controversy 20 years ago as well. A major test case of its clout came with the 1988 release of the film "The Last Temptation of Christ", based on a popular novel by Nikos Kazantzakis. This was a project dear to the heart of director Martin Scorsese, a religious Catholic, and he was determined to see it through despite numerous warnings, both within and outside Hollywood, about its potentially inflammatory nature. The warnings proved prescient as wild rumors circulated long before any audience had seen it, including that it would depict a gay Jesus. Once the film did go into theaters, it was roundly vilified, picketed, threatened with violence, and even banned in some areas. It became a true religious cause cl]bre. Lindlof (journalism & telecommunications, Univ. of Kentucky) has meticulously researched the history of the film from its initial optioning to its ultimate fate, up to the present time, successfully placing it into cultural context. Although extremely detailed, the book is readable and eminently instructive. Recommended for larger library collections.Roy Liebman, Los Angeles P.L. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
