Lance Thomas Morrow (September 21, 1939 – November 29, 2024) was an American essayist and writer, chiefly for Time magazine,[1] as well as the author of several books.
Lance Thomas Morrow was born in Philadelphia on September 21, 1939, and was raised in Washington D.C.,[2] where he attended Gonzaga College High School.
His father, Hugh Morrow, was for many years a chief aide to New York Governor and later Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.
[2] Morrow had conservative and progressive-leaning views, with The Washington Post noting that he was skeptical of affirmative action while also supporting environmentalist policy.
A policy of focused brutality does not come easily to a self-conscious, self-indulgent, contradictory, diverse, humane nation with a short attention span.
"[4]Morrow was a professor at Boston University from 1996 to 2006, when he was asked to write the authorized biography of Henry Luce, the founder of Time magazine.
