The column, originally syndicated to twelve papers, has consistently picked up new subscribers. Today Lippmann is the most widely quoted and acclaimed pundit in the world; Pravda has reprinted at least one of his pieces verbatim; Historian James Truslow Adams solemnly declared after Lippmann joined the Trib that "what happens to Lippmann in the next decade may be of greater interest than what happens to any other single figure...
