He covered the Bruno Haupman trial, for which he wrote nearly 250,000 words. In 1942 he joined Newsweek as a national a?airs writer and later education editor. He joined the New York World- Telegram and Sun in 1951 and wrote a syndicated column that appeared in newspapers throughout the country. He was best known for his feature writing and his warmhearted, witty, seasonal weather articles. As a magazine writer, he contributed to The New Yorker, Life, Opera News, Horticulture, The Saturday Review and the travel and Book Review sections of The New York Times. He owned many books and his knowledge and understanding of James Joyce’s Ulysses were evident in his writings. His managing editor of the World-Telegram and Sun called him “a mighty man at the typewriter who savored a well-turned phrase or a deft shaft of whimsy ?red at a gloomy world.” At home on Sundays he enjoyed the challenge of the New York Times crossword puzzle, often completing it in ink. He died in 1993.weniger sehen
