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 New York 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 of newspapers. He once joked: “My conclusion is simple Nepotism_works.”

　　1．When did Arthur Sulzberger Sr die?

　　A．In 1997.　B．In 2017.
