Former New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who led the
newspaper to new levels of influence and profit amid some of the most
significant moments in 20th-century journalism, died Saturday. He was
86.
Sulzberger, who went by the nickname
“Punch” and served with the Marine Corps in World War II and Korea
before joining the Times staff as a reporter, died at his home in
Southampton, N.Y., after a long illness, his family announced.
During his three-decade-long tenure,
the newspaper won 31 Pulitzer prizes, published the Pentagon Papers and
won a libel case victory in New York Times vs. Sullivan that established
important First Amendment protections for the press.
