...fourth publisher. Under his stewardship, the Times brightened its pages with more pictures and a crisper, more readable writing style, expanded its coverage with greater emphasis on personality studies and news analysis. He allowed his editors wide latitude in day-to-day operations, engaged in debate rather than ex-cathedra dicta to implement his ideas, delighted in writing long letters to the editor under the pen name A. Aitchess. By 1961, the Times's daily circulation had risen 48%, to 680,265, and its Sunday circulation had nearly doubled, to 1,306,418. Sulzberger was nearing...
