Newsmakers -- published quarterly in paperback -- provides timely and informative profiles of the world's most interesting people. A hardbound annual cumulation makes Newsmakers a permanent reference source on 200 newsmakers of the year. Four indexes help readers locate entries by name, nationality, occupation and subject. Separate obituaries provide concise profiles of recently deceased newsmakers.
Some of the newsmakers featured in the 1990 edition include Emperor Akahito of Japan, Lynne Cheney, Bryant Gumbel and Maya Lin.
