Talk:Anthony Lewis

Untitled
But the statement it replaced - "Anthony Lewis is also, though readers of his former column in the Times on Israeli-Palestinian issues might find this hard to believe, a prominent Jewish-American." - didn't bother you? Shpxurnq 04:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Vexorg

Part of the article reads "Anthony Lewis is also a prominent Jewish-American, a fact evidently troublesome to those who regard his views on Israeli-Palestinian issues as heretical." Having that statement in an article that doesn't mention Lewis' views on Israeli-Palestinian issues seems evidently troublesome to me, and I am removing it.Inappropriatecontent 22:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

NY Times opinion under 'quotes'
am i the only one that finds this paragraph under 'Quotes' a little confusing and sounding somewhat like someone ELSES opinion mixed with an actual quote?

From the op-ed page of the New York Times:

The whole bloodbath debate unreal. What future could possibly be more terrible than the reality of what is happening to Cambodia now? As the death marches out of Phnom Penh proceeded, Lewis went on making excuses for the Khmer Rouge. He mused that it was ``the only way to start on their vision of a new society. Americans who objected were guilty of ``cultural arrogance, an imperial assumption, that. . . our way of life would be better. gba (talk) 20:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Author

Anthony Lewis (1927–2013) was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his writing. Lewis was a columnist for The New York Times before retiring in 2001. His first Pulitzer Prize award was awarded in 1955 for journalism with the Washington Daily News reporting on a member of the military dismissed from the United States Navy. The individual was later allowed back into military service due to Lewis' investigative journalism. In 1963 Lewis received his second Pulitzer Prize for his work for The New York Times reporting on the Supreme Court of the United States. He was awarded the Nieman Fellowship by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.

Lewis' previous works include Gideon's Trumpet (1964) about Clarence Earl Gideon and the U.S. Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainwright, Portrait of a Decade: The Second American Revolution (1964),  and Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment (1991) discussing the U.S. Supreme Court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. He edited the compilation work Written into History: Pulitzer Prize Reporting of the Twentieth Century from The New York Times (2001). Lewis died on March 25, 2013 at the age of 85.

Hopefully some of the above sourced text can be incorporated into this article.

About the importance rating
Actually all WikiProjects who gave importance ratings all underestimated the importance, since it is Anthony Lewis that created legal journalism in America, and his book Freedom for the Thought that We Hate sparked much discussion (his view that hate speech should not be prohibited by law generated controversies, e.g. Jeremy Waldron argued that legislators should ban all hate speech).--RekishiEJ (talk) 09:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
