| | Columbia Journalism Review: Iphigene's ashes |
 | | Iphigene had held the family together through the death of her father, Adolph Ochs, who had bought the paper in 1896, and later that of her husband, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who had followed Adolph as publisher of the paper. |
 | | For openers, there is Adolph Ochs himself, almost a parody of a Horatio Alger hero: job at the age of eleven, walking four miles a day, supporting his family at fourteen, publisher of The Chattanooga Daily Times at twenty, and owner of The New York Times at thirty-eight. |
 | | Because Adolph Ochs had never wanted the Times to appear to be a "Jewish" newspaper, the Times's frontpage account of the 1945 liberation of Dachau "never mentioned the word Jew." Three years later, the paper also declined to endorse Israel's declaration of independence. |
