John Hohenberg, executive secretary, The Pulitzer Prizes, Columbia University
born 1906
" began his journalism career as a teenager by snatching an interview with the president of the US and went on to become administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes"
🤔
An educated guess means that at the age of, say, 16 , Hohenberg may have interviewed the 29th president of the US - Warren G. Harding
Though his term in office was fraught with scandal, including Teapot Dome , Harding embraced technology and was sensitive to the plights of minorities and women." - White House 😏
"Bill Clinton named Meryl Streep , Robert De Niro ,
and TOM HANKS as his favorite actors" apparently
Well, Roger Ebert told us so (the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism ) in The Bill Clinton Interview , 2000 siskelebert.org/?p=7506
More about him later
"The Bill Clinton Story: Winning the Presidency "
by John Hohenberg 👈
"Discusses the events surrounding Bill Clinton's 1992 US presidential campaign.[&]reveals how Clinton became an apostle of change and describes how the reunited Democratic party became a powerhouse of youth"
"Hohenberg came from the golden age of competitive newspapering covering the 1935 trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann who was convicted of kidnapping Charles Lindbergh's baby"
"serial # on a $10 gold certificate deposited by a gas station..on the list of Lindbergh ransom bills"👇
"Ahlgren can’t explain why he mailed Monier the article. .. The 40-year-old police chief keeps an autographed photo of George Bush next to his desk."

"..hanging out with Hemingway in Paris and reporting on the birth pangs of the United Nations and Israel. Tom Goldstein, dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, speaks of ''the John Hohenberg legend.."
"His father refused to pay for the liberal arts education he wanted, so the gangling 17-year-old showed up at The Seattle Star, now closed, to ask for a job."
"When the Secret Service [SS] demanded to see his nonexistent press credentials, employment seemed unlikely. [Hohenberg] called the office, fearing that his name would mean nothing.
''Mercifully,'' he wrote later, ''by grace of the kindly Jehovah that watches over babies,
pretty girls and addled young men, the city editor remembered me and was sportsman enough to clear me for passage to the pier as a Star reporter.'
The result was a second's conversation in which President Warren G. Harding allowed that he liked Seattle..."

Norman E. Isaacs, Lecturer and Editor-in-Residence, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
"IN their handling of Philip Roth's celebrated new novel, Portnoy's Complaint, the nation's editors and reviewers faced one of modern journalism's increasingly recurrent challenges to taste & sensibilities...
"The problem was not how to judge the book (with few exceptions, critics called it a masterly novel of the Jewish genre), but how to convey its sexual content and earthy language without using THOSE WORDS. ..
The Louisville Courier-Journal and Times went ahead and used the words, but later regretted it. "We regarded it as an official report, and it is our policy not to tinker with the text of an official report," says Executive Editor Norman Isaacs. As complaints poured in from
church groups and offended readers, Isaacs candidly apologized. "It was an error in news judgment," he adds. "It isn't likely to happen again."
Philip Roth was born in Newark, New Jersey, ..
Roth's family was Jewish, and his parents were second-generation Americans
Roth was an atheist who once said, "When the whole world doesn't believe in God, it'll be a great place.." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Ro…
Victor Ray Coffie , supposedly related to Daniel Coffie, became a director of T2 Television Limited in the same month that Andrew Tate resigned in February 2009.
