Summary
Walter Lippmann (September 23, 1889 December 14, 1974) was an American journalist, writer, and political analyst. For almost seventy-five years of the twentieth century Walter Lippmann knew and corresponded with a great many men and women who were deeply involved in and helped shape the course of events. His papers, starting in 1906 with his undergraduate years at Harvard and ending with his death in 1974 at the age of eighty-five, constitute an important contribution to the history of the twentieth century. They give a picture of the public life of this century from the perspective of an author, editor, journalist and political philosopher. Although not a socialist his entire life, at some time, Lippmann became a member, alongside Sinclair Lewis, of the New York Socialist Party. In 1911, Lippmann served as secretary to George R. Lunn, the first Socialist mayor of Schenectady, New York, during Lunn's first term. Lippmann resigned his post after four months, finding Lunn's programs to be worthwhile in and of themselves, but inadequate as socialism.
