Greetings. I have spent my entire career in journalism. I started as a sportswriter in high school for my home town newspaper (it eventually folded), was managing editor for The Harvard Crimson, worked for the now defunct Washington Evening Star as its chief diplomatic correspondent, then joined the New York Times which sent me to Moscow in 1969 as its chief Moscow correspondent. When I returned to Washington in 1971, I became the chief diplomatic correspondent for 15 years, eventually moving to New York to become deputy and then the foreign editor in 1989, a time when Communism collapsed throughout Europe.
In 1995 I helped launch the NYT’s web site, an interesting time of exploration. Nobody then could have predicted that newspapers would become reliant on their internet products as they do now,. After I left the NYT in 2002, I joined the Council on Foreign Relations where I did more than 1,000 interviews for CFR’s web site. In 2016, I published my memoirs which you can purchase from Amazon or Barnes and Noble’s web site.
