Harrison Salisbury
Harrison Salisbury (November 14, 1908 – July 5, 1993), an American journalist, was the first regular New York Times correspondent in Moscow after World War II.
Salisbury was the first mainstream, well-known and respected journalist to oppose the Vietnam War after visiting North Vietnam in 1966 (as opposed to the often criticized David Halberstam). He took much heat from the Johnson Administration and the political Right, but his previous standards of objectivity helped to sway journalistic opinion against the war.
Salisbury is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts of America.
