Rosenthal, in the early going, mostly seems like a figure that Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) is envious of, because of his newspaper's ability to break major news stories, while the Post can only follow in its wake. What does "in the early going" mean?

Hi there. From the context, it seems to mean “toward the beginning” or like, “at the start of” the circumstances/story/dilemma being described in the sentence. Someone else might have a better explanation, but contextually, it seems to mean “towards the beginning” or “at the start of things”.
