爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Again Bok turned to the President, and explained to him that, for some reason or other, the way seemed to point to him to write the articles himself. By that time President Harrison had decided that he would not succeed himself. Accordingly he entered into an agreement with the editor to begin to write the articles immediately upon his retirement from office. And the day after Inauguration Day every newspaper contained an Associated Press despatch announcing the former President's contract with The Ladies' Home Journal.

白话
博克再次找到总统，解释说种种原因表明，文章似乎该由总统本人来写。此时哈里森已决定不再竞选连任，于是与博克约定，一卸任就立即动笔。就职日第二天，各报都刊登了美联社消息，宣布前总统与《妇女家庭杂志》签约。博克通过媒体提前造势，既扩大了杂志影响力，也给了总统履约的公开压力。这告诉我们：把合作公开化，能借助舆论推动执行，但也要确保对方真的能兑现。
上下文
布莱恩去世后，博克回头找哈里森总统，总统已决定不连任，便签约撰写系列文章。
