Lance Morrow

Lance Morrow (1940) is professor of journalism and Fellow of the University Professors at Boston University, a writer for "Time Magazine", and author of several books. He won the 1981 National Magazine Award for Essay and Criticism and was a finalist for the same award in 1991.

Morrow joined "Time" in 1965 after a brief stint with the old "Washington Star". As a reporter, he covered the 1967 Detroit race riots, the Vietnam War, the Nixon administration and the Watergate scandal. He also has penned several of "Time"'s "Man of the Year" articles.

In 1976, Morrow became a regular writer of "Time"'s backpage essay. His essays would often weave philosophy (sometimes with a flavor of Catholic scholasticism) with current events, using well-styled prose. Among his "Time" cover stories are essays on God and the Problem of Evil.

Morrow continues to contribute essays, book reviews, and occasional articles to the magazine and to both "Time" and CNN's websites.

Morrow graduated "magna cum laude" from Harvard University in 1963 with a BA in English literature. He lives in Chatham, New York, with his wife Susan Brind Morrow, who is also an author. He has two sons, James, 32 and Justin, 25.
