JOSEPH LELYVELD

Uchitelle in writing about one of the nation’s economic recessions thought that it should be an interesting slant to do an article about Harvard alumni who had been laid off to show that education and training were not sufficient to have job security. Lelyveld, one of the greatest newspaper editors in the history of American journalism had also been a Harvard graduate.

He was referring to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt negotiations with Churchill and Stalin at the Teheran Conference of 1943. Roosevelt insisted upon, and got his way of including China as one of the major allied powers to be among the main “Allies”. of WWII. Another factor that motivated FDR to push for China’s inclusion was that there was a very strong “China Lobby” led by Time/Life publisher Henry Luce in America that were urging such a policy.
