Max Frankel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Frankel (born in 1930 in Gera, Germany) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. He was educated at Columbia University, where he wrote for and edited the Columbia Daily Spectator.
Frankel worked at The New York Times for 50 years and was its executive editor from 1986 to 1994. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for coverage of Richard Nixon's trip to the People's Republic of China. He is also remembered as being the journalist who asked President Gerald Ford about Soviet domination in Eastern Europe during the second presidential debate of 1976. Some credit Ford's contradictory response as costing him the election.
Frankel is the author of the book High Noon in the Cold War (Ballantine, 2004 and Presidio 2005) and his memoir, The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times (Random House, 1999, and Delta, 2000).
