Walter Lippmann (1889-1974), newspaper columnist, editor, and author, regarded as the dean of American political journalists, born in New York and educated at Harvard University. The first of his 26 books, A Preface to Politics, appeared in 1913.

Lippmann worked first for the muckraking Everybody's Magazine, then became one of the founders of the liberal New Republic. His astute grasp of world affairs attracted the attention of President Woodrow Wilson, who is believed to have been influenced by Lippmann's ideas. After having served as editor of the New York World (1929-1931), he went to the New York Herald Tribune and there launched his famous syndicated column “Today and Tomorrow”, which was to become internationally influential. He received two Pulitzer Prizes (1958, 1962) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1964).

Among Lippmann's best-known books are Public Opinion (1922), A Preface to Morals (1929), The Good Society (1937), and Essays in the Public Philosophy (1955).
