October 15th: Clyde Haberman and Maggie Haberman

Clyde Haberman, after years at The New York Post, joined The New York Times in 1977 as an editor in the Week in Review section. He went on to become a Metro reporter, City Hall Bureau chief and, from 1982 to 1995, a foreign correspondent based successively in Tokyo, Rome and Jerusalem. Returning home, he wrote a twice-a-week column, NYC, from 1995 to 2011. In 2009, he was part of a Times team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News, for coverage of the prostitution scandal that led to Gov. Eliot Spitzer's resignation.
In 2011, he started a new online column, The Day, following that with Breaking Bread, a series of interviews. In 2017 and 2018 he was on the Times editorial board, and continues to write book reviews and obituaries of prominent people for the newspaper. He is also the writer and editor of "The Times of the Seventies: The Culture, Politics, and Personalities That Shaped the Decade," a book published in 2013 by Black Dog & Leventhal.
Maggie Haberman is a senior political correspondent who joined The New York Times in 2015 and was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for reporting on Donald Trump’s advisers and their connections to Russia. She was part of a team that was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2021 for coverage of the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus. She previously covered the Trump administration and continues to cover Donald Trump and politics in Washington.
She is the author of “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” a book about the world that shaped the former president and how he exported what he learned in New York into Washington.
Before joining The Times as a campaign correspondent, Ms. Haberman worked as a political reporter at Politico from 2010 to 2015. She previously worked at other publications, including The New York Post and The New York Daily News.
