A Journal of Duality.

The article focuses on Joseph Pulitzer, a philanthropist. Pulitzer was not like three others who left their mark upon American journalism--Carl Schurz, Oswald Ottendorfer and Henry Villard, a product of the Revolution of 1848. He belonged to a later generation of immigrants and did not cross the ocean as a result of that idealistic uprising which would have liberalized Germany and spared the world its greatest agony had it succeeded. But the fact is nevertheless that New York owes what is today perhaps its most liberal English-language daily to a simple Jewish-Hungarian immigrant of humblest origin.
