About the author

Ralph McAllister Ingersoll was an American writer, editor, and publisher. He was managing editor of the New Yorker, Publisher of Fortune, and General Manager of Time Inc. He then founded his own innovative and left-leaning newspaper in New York called PM. Penning a front-page editorial for the very first issue, Ingersoll staked out his ground. “We’re against people who push other people around.” The New York Times described the colorful Ingersoll as “a prodigiously energetic egotist with a talent for making magazines, covering a war, womanizing - and pushing other people around.” He acted as a star reporter for his own paper, met face-to-face with Stalin and Churchill, hung out at the White House with FDR, and made good copy for other reporters.

He served as an officer (Engineer branch) with the U.S. Army during World War II and returned to the newspaper business after the war.
