Autorenporträt

Andrew F. Tully Jr. (1914-1993) was an author and one of the first American reporters to enter conquered Berlin in April 1945. His writing career spanned six decades and includes several novels and popular non-fiction books on the workings of Washington, where he was a syndicated political columnist for more than 20 years. In 1962, Mr. Tully had both a novel, "Capitol Hill," and a non-fiction book, "C.I.A.: The Inside Story," on The New York Times' best-seller lists. He started working for newspapers while still in high school, as a sports reporter for his hometown daily newspaper in Southbridge, Mass. At 21, he bought the town's weekly newspaper, The Southbridge Press, for about $5,000 with loans from friends, making him the youngest newspaper publisher in America. He sold the paper two years later and became a reporter at The Worcester Gazette in Worcester, Mass., leaving there to become a correspondent in Europe for The Boston Traveler during World War II. He began writing his own column in 1961, which came to be called "Capital Fare," and was syndicated in more than 150 newspapers at its peak. Tully passed away at the age of 78 in 1993 due to complications from Alzheimer's disease.
