Joseph Pulitzer was born in 1847 in Mako, Hungary. He. immigrated to the United States, when he was seventeen years old, and was naturalized on his twentieth birthday. He spent his career in journalism working in the mid-west and New York. From 1871 he was also the owner or part-owner of many newspapers. His most famous newspaper was the New York World. In later life, Joseph Pulitzer collapsed from overwork, and lost his sight. He became dedicated to improving the quality of journalism in America, and donated $1 million to Columbia University to found a school of journalism. However, his most significant contribution was the establishment of the Pulitzer prizes in his will. These prizes for excellence in journalism have been . given a every year since 1917 by Columbia University. Since 1942 there have been extra categories for press photography, and later still for criticism, feature writing and commentary. The prize was originally for $500, but today the winners of the prize receive a gold medal. However, the real value of the prize is that it confirms that the journalist who has received the award is the best American journalist of the year-a fact that is worth much more than $500 to the. journalist and to the newspaper that employs him or her.

John F. Kennedy is considered one of thee outstanding presidents, in the United States’ history. He inspired hope in not only the citizens of the United States, but also in citizens of the world. The following text contains highlights of the transcript of his Inaugural Address on that day of hope in January 1961: “We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom... The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe... the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. ...And so, my fellow Americans... ask not what your country can do for you. My fellow citizens of the world...ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man...Finally, whether you are citizens of America ore citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds; let us go forth to lead the land we love asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.
