Edward Klein, I'm sure he isn't voting Repub!
Edward Klein is a well-known editor, writer, and lecturer with a distinguished career in American journalism.
As editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine for eleven years, 1977 to 1988, Mr. Klein led this flagship publication of the Sunday Times to new heights of public interest and editorial excellence. During his editorship, The New York Times Magazine won the first Pulitzer Prize in its history.
In 1989, Mr. Klein became a Contributing Editor of Vanity Fair. Among his many well-received articles are stories on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and on Aristotle Onassis's granddaughter, Athina Onassis Roussel.
In addition, Klein has written a number of cover stories for Parade, the Sunday magazine with a readership of 83 million, on such important figures as Jesse Jackson, Barbara Bush, and former President Ronald Reagan. For the past several years, he has written a weekly column for Parade called "Walter Scott's Personality Parade".
Klein began his career in journalism as a copy boy for the New York Daily News while attending Columbia University, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree. He earned a master's degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and was awarded a traveling fellowship to Japan. He learned to speak Japanese with some fluency as a foreign correspondent in Asia for United Press International. Upon his return to New York, Klein joined Newsweek, where he became Foreign Editor and then Assistant Managing Editor with Jurisdiction over foreign and military affairs.
Klein's most recent nonfiction work includes Just Jackie: Her Private Years and All Too Human: The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, which was published in the fall of 1996 and became a major bestseller. Mr. Klein is also a novelist. He is the co-author of If Israel Lost the War and the author of The Parachutists, which was published in hardcover by Doubleday and in paperback by Ballantine.
The father of two grown children, Edward Klein is married to Dolores Barrett, a well-known public relations executive
. If so he wouldn't deserve the nickname "Slick Willie". Taken out of context, that is the kind of statement a publisher would release to the vultures to drum up interest in a book.
