Born in New York City,5 February 1926,Sr served in Marine Corps during World War Ⅱ and Korean War,joined
The New York Times in 1951 after graduating from Columbia
College,took over as publisher in 1963 after his brotherinlaw died suddenly,stepped down in 1997 and passed stewardship to his son,Arthur Sulzberger Jr.
He oversaw a huge circulation boost at the paper,and increased its parent company’s annual revenues (年收入) from
$100m in 1963 to $1.7bn by the time he stepped down in 1997.He also led the paper through highlevel clashes with the
political establishment.In 1971,The Times published a series of stories saying that politicians had systematically lied over the US involvement in Vietnam.The source was thousands of leaked government documents known as the Pentagon Papers.The Nixon
administration
demanded
that
the
paper
stop publishing the stories on grounds of national security.But the paper refused,and then won the subsequent court case by arguing that the First Amendment of the US Constitution (宪法) guaranteed free speech.The case is seen as a landmark in the history of free speech in the US.Mr Sulzberger said he read more than 7,000 pages of the Pentagon Papers before personally deciding to publish them.
His family still holds a controlling stake (控股权) in The New York Times.He was a strong believer in family ownership
