The deaths of his father and four of his siblings as well as a bout with osteomyelitis developed in him a profound strength of character that stood him in good stead as he climbed the journalistic ladder of the New York Times from City College campus correspondent in 1943 to executive editor from 1977 to 1988 and columnist from 1988 to 1999. In the 1950s and 1960s, Rosenthal worked as a foreign correspondent and, as managing editor of the paper from 1969, he was instrumental in covering the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and in publishing the Pentagon Papers.
