By Al Silverman, Doubleday during Sargent's time operated under the principle MBP (Management By Party).. Sargent edited award-winning poetry by Theodore Roethke and published such best-sellers as King's "Carrie," Peter Benchley's "Jaws" and Alex Haley's "Roots." He also presided over Doubleday's network of radio stations, book clubs and bookstores.. A notable addition to Doubleday came through his friendship with Kennedy, who in the mid-1970s had resigned as an editor with Viking. She soon joined Doubleday.. John Sargent Sr. also served on numerous boards, including the New York Public Library and the New York City Arts Commission. Survivors include his second wife, Betty Nichols Sargent.
