The acclaim for Lippmann the political thinker has at times
obscured the equally impressive accomplishments of Lippmann the
journalist. His output was prodigious, his influence on journalism
significant. According to James Reston: "He has given a generation
of newspapermen a wider vision of their duty." Early Writings
provides a unique opportunity to rediscover this journalistic
Lippmann and to observe the formative years of a brilliant mind.In
1913, just three years out of Harvard, Lippmann was asked by
Herbert Croly to help plan and edit a new "weekly of ideas," the
New Republic. Beginning with its first issue in 1914 and continuing
through the following six years, Lippmann wrote numerous signed and
unsigned articles. Here are the best of them, written during the
exciting political era that began with the trauma of World War I
and ended in the stasis of Republican Normalcy.Pulitzer
Prize-winning historian, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., places Lippmann
in historical context while recreating the intellectual ambiance of
the Wilsonian era. His annotations identify little-remembered
personages and clarify issues that time has befogged. But in
another sense, the issues and personages of 1910-1920 are only too
familiar. Our world is still a world of war, ineffectual
international political organizations, disappointed idealism,
nerve-wracking platitudes, social unrest, and slinking politicians.
