Sylvan Fox
Saigon bureau chief in 1973. He went on to spend 15 years at Newsday , where he was editorial page editor from 1979 to 1988.
Fox was a reporter at The New York World-Telegram and Sun on March 1, 1962, when he was part of a team assigned to cover an airplane crash on Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting, Edition Time[2][3] — referring to work under pressure of a deadline, a predecessor of the Breaking News Pulitzer .
Fox grew up in Juilliard School of Music , but left without a degree because of his decision to change his major from piano to musical composition. There he met Gloria Endleman, a fellow piano student, who became his wife and who survives him.
Fox graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in philosophy, then earned a master's degree in musicology from the University of California, Berkeley. Fox was a visiting professor at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus in 1967 and 1968, where he taught journalism courses.[4] He died, aged 79, in New York University's Medical Center from complications from pneumonia.
