“All the News That’s Fit to Print.” Since 1897, this has adorned the masthead of The New York Times. It just seems that, in the paper of record’s long history, some news was “Not Fit to Print.”
I want to thank The Heritage Foundation for asking me to deliver this year’s Joseph Story Lecture. I am honored and intimidated to be in such august company.

Dr Julian Leff, the internationally acclaimed and award-winning psychiatrist who broke much new ground in the treatment of schizophrenia, died peacefully at his Hampstead home on February 23. He was 82.
Julian was born above his father’s surgery in Kentish Town into a family with strong socialist ideals.
His parents met while helping men on the 1936 hunger march of 2,000 men from Jarrow to a rally in Hyde Park. His father, Sam, went on to become one of the founders of the NHS, and his mother, Vera, a novelist, was one of the three instigators of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
