Despite not using an alias and having prior convictions, Alcala was hired by The Times as a typesetter in September 1977.

Among those who have had their overdoses reversed at OnPoint is Eddie M., 69, a former typesetter who travels almost every day to East Harlem from Brooklyn so he can inject his drugs under supervision.

While writing for the college newspaper as Bob Goldman, a typesetter accidentally left off the second “b” in his name.

Its first publisher, Harrison Gray Otis, fulminated against the typesetters’ union trying to organize Times workers.

Publishers often guard against leaks with strict embargoes, in some cases requiring anyone who works on the book, including typesetters and copy editors, to sign nondisclosure agreements.
