Roger Ailes

摘要

In April 1970 Roger Ailes was sent on a secret military transport to Hawaii. As President Richard Nixon's television coordinator, Ailes was dispatched to construct for the cameras what was expected to be a tragic homecoming for the astronauts of the ill-fated Apollo 13. "I was advised that they would probably die," Ailes recalls. "So I had to set up a funeral service in a hangar while I was setting up the welcome-home ceremony on the tarmac." The Apollo 13 astronauts survived their harrowing journey back to earth. But for Ailes, the event had a different meaning.
