Columnist Flora Lewis dies

Published June 4, 2002

PARIS, June 3: Foreign affairs columnist Flora Lewis, whose analysis of world affairs made her one of the leading voices in the US press for decades, has died of cancer at 79 in Paris.

Lewis, a hard-driving reporter who knew generations of world leaders personally, made her name as a foreign correspondent during the Cold War and rose to become columnist of the New York Times.

Born in 1922, Lewis was one of the few women covering world politics when she began her career in 1943.—Reuters
