Post-New York Times Career
Goodale joined Debevoise & Plimpton in 1980, bringing the New York Times as a client with him. He established two practice groups, one for the representation of media companies, particularly new media companies such as cable television, the other for First Amendment and intellectual property litigation.
At Debevoise, he or his groups have represented The New York Times, the Hearst Corporation, NBC, Cablevision, the New York Observer, Paris Review, Infinity Broadcasting, the NFL, NHL, and NBA. He has personally represented George Plimpton, Harry Evans, Tina Brown, Margaret Truman, and former New York City Mayor John Lindsay.
In 2001, Debevoise & Plimpton represented the New York Times in the Supreme Court case of New York Times Co. v. Tasini. This was the fourth case Goodale represented the New York Times at the Supreme Court.
As counsel to George Plimpton, Goodale convinced Plimpton to turn The Paris Review into a foundation. Over the initial rejections of Plimpton, Goodale’s decision to make the literary magazine a non-profit foundation ensured The Paris Review would survive beyond Plimpton’s 2003 death. Plimpton had been the magazine’s editor since 1953.
Goodale also assisted in the creation of the New York Observer, which was founded by Arthur L. Carter. Goodale also arranged for Carter to purchase The Nation magazine from Victor Navasky, which was, in turn, re-purchased by Navasky.

Famous quotes containing the words york, times and/or career:
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“All that we did, all that we said or sang
Must come from contact with the soil, from that
Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.
We three alone in modern times had brought
Everything down to that sole test again,
Dream of the noble and the beggarman.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
