Adolph Simon Ochs

born March 12, 1858, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S. died April 8, 1935, Chattanooga, Tenn. U.S. newspaper publisher. Ochs grew up in Tennessee, where he worked for various newspapers. At age 20 he borrowed $250 to become proprietor of the moribund Chattanooga Times, which he developed into one of the South's leading newspapers. He gained control of the financially faltering New York Times in 1896. Despising yellow journalism, he adopted the slogan "All the News That's Fit to Print" and emphasized comprehensive and trustworthy news gathering. Under his ownership the Times became one of the world's outstanding newspapers. From 1900 he was a director of the Associated Press. Ochs's son-in-law, Arthur H. Sulzberger, was the first in a succession of family heirs to lead the New York Times Co

Karl Adolph Gjellerup

born June 2, 1857, Roholte, Den. died Oct. 11, 1919, Klotzsche, Ger. Danish poet and novelist. The son of a parson, he studied theology, but after coming under the influence of Darwinism and the ideas of Georg Brandes, he considered himself an atheist, which he proclaimed in An Idealist (1878) and The Teutons' Apprentice (1882). In his later years he became interested in Buddhism and other Asian religions, and he wrote about reincarnation in The Pilgrim Kamanita (1906). He shared the 1917 Nobel Prize for Literature with Henrik Pontoppidan

Paul Adolph Volcker

v. born Sept. 5, 1927, Cape May, N.J., U.S. U.S. economist. He worked as an economist for the Chase Manhattan Bank (1957-61; 1965-68). As an undersecretary at the U.S. Treasury Department (1969-74), Volcker was the chief architect of the U.S.'s abandonment of the gold-exchange standard and the devaluations of the U.S. dollar (1971, 1973). After serving as president of the Federal Reserve Bank (1975-79), he was appointed head of the Federal Reserve System in 1979 by Pres. Jimmy Carter and served until 1987. To end a period of very high inflation, he slowed the growth of the money supply and allowed interest rates to rise, causing a recession (1982-83) but dramatically reducing inflation

Walter Adolph Gropius

born May 18, 1883, Berlin, Ger. died July 5, 1969, Boston, Mass., U.S. German-U.S. architect and educator. The son of an architect, he studied in Munich and Berlin and in 1907 joined the office of Peter Behrens. In 1919 he became director of the Staatliches Bauhaus Weimar. He designed a new school building and housing for the Bauhaus when it moved to Dessau (1925); with its dynamic International Style composition, asymmetrical plan, smooth white walls set with horizontal windows, and flat roof, the building became a monument of the Modernist movement. In 1934 Gropius fled Germany for Britain, and in 1937 he arrived in the U.S, taking a position at Harvard University. At the Bauhaus and as chair (1938-52) of Harvard's architecture department, he established a new prototype of design education, which ended the 200-year supremacy of the French École des Beaux-Arts. Among his most important ideas was his belief that all design whether of a chair, a building, or a city should be approached in essentially the same way: through a systematic study of the particular needs and problems involved, taking into account modern construction materials and techniques without reference to previous forms or styles
