with Max Frankel on Apr 5, 1999
Max Frankel (born in 1930 in Gera, Germany) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. He was educated at Columbia University, where he wrote for the “Columbia Daily Spectator.”
Frankel was Executive Editor of “The New York Times” from 1986 to 1994, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for coverage of Richard Nixon’s trip to the People’s Republic of China. He is also remembered as being the journalist who asked President Ford about Soviet domination in Eastern Europe during the second presidential debate of 1976. Some credit Ford’s contradictory response as costing him the election.
Frankel is the author of the book “High Noon in the Cold War” (Ballantine, 2004 and Presidio 2005) and his memoirs, “The Times of My Life and My Life with the Times” (Delta, 2000).
