The Press: Vantage Point

The New York Post Home News (circ. 385,151), which has 25 columnists already, last week added one more. The newcomer: Arthur Meier Schlesinger Jr., 31, who won a Pulitzer prize for his Age of Jackson (TIME, Oct. 22, 1945), is now at work on the Age of Franklin D. Roosevelt. An associate professor of history at Harvard, Schlesinger is writing a weekly column from the vantage point of a “historian looking at the news.”
