爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Moreover, this method came to me very naturally in dealing with the Edward Bok, editor and publicist, whom I have tried to describe in this book, because, in many respects, he has had and has been a personality apart from my private self. I have again and again found myself watching with intense amusement and interest the Edward Bok of this book at work. I have, in turn, applauded him and criticised him, as I do in this book. Not that I ever considered myself bigger or broader than this Edward Bok: simply that he was different. His tastes, his outlook, his manner of looking at things were totally at variance with my own. In fact, my chief difficulty during Edward Bok's directorship of The Ladies' Home Journal was to abstain from breaking through the editor and revealing my real self. Several times I did so, and each time I saw how different was the effect from that when the editorial Edward Bok had been allowed sway. Little by little I learned to subordinate myself and to let him have full rein.

白话
作者说，书里那个“编辑博克”和他私下的自己很不一样。他常常像旁观者一样看那个博克工作，有时赞赏，有时批评。那个博克品味、视角都和他不同，甚至相反。他当主编时最大的困难，就是忍住不跳出来用真实的自己取代编辑角色。有几次他没忍住，结果发现效果差很多。后来他学会让“编辑博克”放手去做。这讲的是角色和本我的分离：职业角色需要一套不同的行为方式，能切换、能克制，反而更专业。
上下文
博克长期主编《妇女家庭杂志》，他在自传里反思自己作为编辑的公共角色和私人自我的差异。
