Walter Lippmann  (1889-1974)

Walter Lippmann was an American journalist; born on September 23, 1889 in New York City. He was educated at Harvard University where he did graduate work in philosophy, particularly under George Santayana. He began as the associate editor of the New Republic and served on the editorial staff of the New York World (1921-31). He began writing a highly influential syndicated column — Today and Tomorrow — first for the New York Herald Tribune (1931-62) and then later for the Washington Post (1962-67).

His output of advice and opinion — numbering over ten million words — to the American public, spanned 50 years. His words are well worth reading today as they were when they were written. He is known for his stern, candid and penetrating commentary of America and its society.
