		As a child, Joseph Lelyveld’s parents called him “memory boy.” He was the family’s institutional memory, paying attention and recalling with ease events and people — a useful skill for someone who would reach the top of his profession as a journalist.
		Lelyveld is the son of Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld, a prominent Reform leader, and Toby Lelyveld, who was less interested in the role of rabbi’s wife than in her own literary studies.
		Lelyveld recalls that the senior Rabbi Lookstein, who served on his father’s Hillel Board, was at his bar mitzvah at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue.

		Lelyveld is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former executive editor of the New York Times whose intriguing, often traumatic, family history exposes in uncommon ways the nexus between the personal and the political.
		An accidental memoirist, Lelyveld was impelled to investigate his parents' lives after unearthing, in his ailing father's papers, startling testimony to overlooked aspects of the cold war era.
		Most dramatically, Lelyveld recounts how his father was severely beaten in Mississippi during the "freedom summer," then gave the eulogy for Andrew Goodman, one of the three murdered civil rights workers.

Roberts, Jr., a former national editor at the Times, who is sixty-one and who left in 1972 to become the executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer--a job he gave up in 1990.
		Lelyveld knew that when he was elevated the Times would have to choose a new managing editor.

	Joe Conason's Journal - Salon
		Lelyveld Thanks to Joseph Lelyveld's long, sloppy, rather mean-spirited review of Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" in the current New York Review of Books, the Whitewater mystery is finally resolved, at least in part.
		Maybe Lelyveld should have glanced at "The Hunting of the President," which explains on Page 37 that the two largest failed thrifts in Arkansas were First Federal and Savers Savings, with $950 million and $650 million in losses, respectively.
		Lelyveld: "[Blumenthal] remembers that Joe Lieberman was 'the son of a New Haven liquor store owner' but somehow neglects to mention his Senate speech denouncing Clinton's behavior in the Lewinsky matter as 'disgraceful' and 'immoral.'"

	The New York Times’ Joseph Lelyveld: another “liberal” defense of torture : Indybay
		Lelyveld, a former managing editor of the New York Times and frequent political commentator, set out an argument for the legalization of some forms of abuse, and in doing so joined the growing list of American “liberal” apologists of torture.
		The foundation of Lelyveld’s argument is his attempt to distinguish between torture proper and what he calls “torture lite.” This arbitrary distinction is essential to the elaboration of his case for the legalization of some forms of abuse of US-held prisoners.
		Lelyveld attempts to deal with his critics in the following passage: “Commentators and editorial writers who deplore torture use the ‘slippery slope’ argument to avoid facing the issue of lesser forms of coercion.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: As He Tracks His Parents’ Path, Ex-Times Editor Stumbles
		Lelyveld has lived an exciting life against the backdrop of a hazily understood but intriguing childhood.
		Instead, Lelyveld writes a great deal about the strange relationship between his mother, a woman with a doctorate in dramatic writing who felt trapped by her family’s needs, and father, a nationally renowned reform rabbi.
		The research Lelyveld needs to carry out in order to create this “homage,” and in order “to round out…an early chapter of [his] own life,” creates a side-loop off the main spiral of his memory.

		Lelyveld mentions a small mistake in the hardcover edition of our book "The Hunting of the President," which was corrected in the paperback.
		Lelyveld correctly points out that the Times ran stories referring to the RTC report on July 16 and Dec. 24, 1995, and on March 1, 1996.

		Lelyveld’s mother, a woman interested in a theatrical career, had become disenchanted with her status as a rabbi’s wife; his father was avidly intent on his rabbinical duties and his role as an organizer for Zionism.
		Lelyveld spends only enough time on that summer to suggest its impact (but also to question if he had indeed been as unhappy as he remembered).
		Lelyveld sets out to explore the past, and incidentally the formation of his own character, and he accomplishes his goals with understanding and compassion.

		Lelyveld stressed that it is not the responsibility of a journalist to preoccupy himself with consequences because, "once we start worrying about the effects rather than the truth of what we publish, we're putting at risk the confidence our readers develop over the years in our honesty and even-handedness.
		Lelyveld asserted that a newspaper is a necessity for a community, providing "a place where issues can be defined, redefined and debated, a framework for discussion." He argued that "[such a] role has best been played by a free and rambunctious press," despite all its flaws.
		Lelyveld believes that free inquiry is the fundamental role of the press, that there is no alternative to the way in which a newspaper "supports, sustains, and perpetuates...

	The New York Times' Joseph Lelyveld: another "liberal" defense of torture
		Thus, when Lelyveld poses the question—“How many lives would have to be demonstrably saved before such intimidation and punishment [“torture lite”] achieves a kind of moral sanction?”—he is posing an entirely abstract question that bears no relation to the actual conditions in which torture has become a question of debate within the American ruling elite.
		Lelyveld states that he has “a sneaking regard” for the former option—the one that legalizes torture.
		Lelyveld would like to present himself as an individual of democratic sensibilities who is grudgingly obliged to accept the abuse of prisoners because the American people demand it.

	Relative truth: Joe Lelyveld takes on his toughest assignment: his family Washington Monthly - Find Articles
		Lelyveld, born in 1937, rose from copy boy to foreign correspondent to executive editor of The New York Times and won the Pulitzer Prize for his deeply reported book on South Africa under apartheid, Move Your Shadow.
		For years, Lelyveld complains mildly, the media writers who covered him tended to sum him up in two words: "rabbi's son," a phrase apparently opposite in implication to the stereotype of the wild-child preacher's daughter.
		In those letters to his father, she repeatedly described him as an annoyance and wrote that she was absolutely "dreading the thought of coping with the noise again" when mother and child were reunited.

		And so, Joseph Lelyveld, a longtime New York Times writer and editor, sets out to write his memoir with a reporter's inquisitiveness and attention to detail and a Jew's respect for memory.
		Joseph was left with relatives, dumped in summer camp and, at one point, sent to live for a summer on a farm with a Seventh-Day Adventist family.
		But, just as unsettling in their own way, Lelyveld's findings more often validate his memories and provide a sort of emotional release -- that moment of awareness where he realizes his memories have not over-dramatized the traumas of his past and that any self-blame for his childhood feelings is misplaced.

	The New York Times' Joseph Lelyveld: another "liberal" defense of torture
		The significant rightward shift of sections of the Jewish liberal intelligentsia in the United States, and the willingness of these layers to accept the most anti-democratic and militarist policies of the American state, is closely bound up with their unconditional defense of the interests of the Israeli state.
		Lelyveld argues that the inevitability of “torture lite” in the United States is due, in large part, to the demands of the American people for security.
		Lelyveld quotes Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, as declaring her support for some forms of prisoner abuse.

		LELYVELD: Still, I have to wonder how much influence even a very rich and powerful non-Muslim country can have in an organized way in influencing the outcome of a cultural debate at the core of Islam.
		LELYVELD: One of the most striking points you make in the book, it seems to me, was when—you have a line in there about talking about Islamic communities within our own Western societies, and you say we can't bomb Hamburg or Detroit to deal with al Qaeda cells in these places.

		Lelyveld reveals his honesty and good faith in passages like this, in which he manages to put both “amnesty” and “illegals” in scare quotes:
		Leftists like Lelyveld aren’t content with destroying our nation and civilization; in the process of doing so, they seek to destroy the meaning of words, thus destroying our ability to speak about what the nation-destroyers are doing.

		Lelyveld's offort to recapture his family history takes him on an unforeseen journey past disparate landmarks of the last century, including the Scottsboro trials, the Zionist movement, the Hollywood fllist, McCarthyism, and Mississippi's "freedom summer" of 1964.

		It was, in fact, during Lelyveld’s first tenure in the executive editor’s chair that the Times launched its guerrilla war in the paper’s news pages against George W. Bush, beginning with Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign and continuing when he moved into the White House.
		It also was under Lelyveld that the Times’ coverage of Israel, which had always been problematic, descended to unprecedented depths of subjectivity when Deborah Sontag was given free reign, as Jerusalem bureau chief, to file reports that invariably read as though they were first vetted by some Palestinian Authority functionary.

Roberts, Jr., a former national editor at the Times, who is sixty-one and who left in 1972 to become the executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer—a job he gave up in 1990.
		What they were looking for was a managing editor to counterbalance the brilliant but forbidding Lelyveld—someone who could be not just a sounding board for Lelyveld but an ear for the staff, as Arthur Gelb was in his capacity as deputy managing editor under A. Rosenthal, back in the late seventies and early eighties.
