His weekly column is syndicated to more than 400 newspapers worldwide.〔("Charles Krauthammer" ). Harry Walker Agency bio (''harrywalker.com''). Retrieved October 26, 2013.〕 He is a contributing editor to the ''Weekly Standard'' and a nightly panelist on Fox News's ''Special Report with Bret Baier''. He was a weekly panelist on PBS news program ''Inside Washington'' from 1990 until it ceased production in December 2013. ==Personal life== Krauthammer was born on March 13, 1950, in New York City〔(Interview ) with Brian Lamb on C-SPAN, May 1, 2005.〕 and raised in Montreal:〔(Charles Krauthammer bio ) from The Washington Post Writers Group. Retrieved October 26, 2013.〕 "My father was a naturalized French citizen. He lived in France most of his life and moved to the United States after the war and got involved in real estate. A friend of his took him on a business trip to Montreal and he was enchanted by the idea of living in a place where French was spoken."〔() Charles Krauthammer: Prize Writer, Dr. Mitchal Bard, Director of American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE)〕 His parents were Orthodox Jews, and he went to a Hebrew day school. "I got a rigorous Jewish education. I know what it is to be a Jew. There's a difference between being nominally Jewish or sentimentally Jewish and being grounded in Jewish learning."〔 In 1970, he graduated from Montreal's McGill University with First Class Honors in political science and economics. The following year, he was a Commonwealth Scholar in politics at Balliol College, Oxford, before he returned to the United States and entered Harvard Medical School. During Krauthammer's first year of medical school, he was paralyzed in a diving board accident〔 and was hospitalized for 14 months. He has been a wheelchair user since the accident. He continued his medical studies at Harvard, however, and he graduated with his class, earning his M.D. in 1975. From 1975 to 1978, Krauthammer was a resident and then a chief resident in psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1984, he became board certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. During his time as chief resident, he discovered a variant of manic depressive disease that he called "Secondary Mania."〔C. Krauthammer and G. L. Klerman. ("Secondary mania: manic syndromes associated with antecedent physical illness or drugs" ), ''Archives of General Psychiatry'' 1978; 35:1333–1339.〕 He also coauthored a path-finding study on the epidemiology of mania.〔C. Krauthammer and G. L. Klerman. "The Epidemiology of Mania", in ''Manic Illness'', ed. B. Shopsin, New York: Raven Press, 1979.〕 In 1978, Krauthammer moved to Washington, DC, to direct planning in psychiatric research under the Carter administration.〔 He began contributing articles about politics to ''The New Republic'' and, in 1980, served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale.〔 In January 1981, Krauthammer joined ''The New Republic'' as both a writer and editor.〔 In 1983, he began writing essays for ''Time'' magazine, one of which first brought him national acclaim for his development of the "Reagan Doctrine". In 1984, his ''New Republic'' essays won the "National Magazine Award for Essays and Criticism".〔 The weekly column he began writing for ''The Washington Post'' in 1985 won him the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1987. In 1990, he became a panelist for the weekly PBS political roundtable ''Inside Washington'', remaining with the show until it ceased production in December 2013. For the last decade, he has been a political analyst and commentator for Fox News. In 2013, Krauthammer published ''Things That Matter: Three Decades of Passions, Pastimes and Politics,'' an immediate bestseller that remained on the ''New York Times'' bestseller list for 22 weeks, 10 weeks in a row at number one.〔http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/overview.html〕 In 2006, the ''Financial Times'' named Krauthammer the most influential commentator in America,〔 saying "Krauthammer has influenced US foreign policy for more than two decades. He coined and developed 'The Reagan Doctrine' in 1985 and he defined the US role as sole superpower in his essay 'The Unipolar Moment,' published shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Krauthammer's 2004 speech '(Democratic Realism )', which was delivered to the American Enterprise Institute when Krauthammer won the Irving Kristol Award, set out a framework for tackling the post-9/11 world, focusing on the promotion of democracy in the Middle East." In 2009, ''Politico'' columnist Ben Smith wrote that Krauthammer had "emerged in the Age of Obama as a central conservative voice, the kind of leader of the opposition that that economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman represented for the left during the Bush years: a coherent, sophisticated and implacable critic of the new president."〔http://www.politico.com/story/2009/05/obamas-biggest-critic-krauthammer-022743#ixzz3p7wpQFC7〕 ''The New York Times'' columnist David Brooks says that today, "he's the most important conservative columnist." Former congressman and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called Krauthammer "without a doubt the most powerful force in American conservatism. He has () for two, three, four years." Krauthammer's other awards include the People for the American Way's First Amendment Award, the Champion/Tuck Award for Economic Understanding, the first annual Bradley Prize, and the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism, an annual award given by the Eric Breindel Foundation. Former president Bill Clinton called Krauthammer "a brilliant man" in a December 2010 press conference. Krauthammer responded, tongue-in-cheek, that "my career is done" and "I'm toast." Krauthammer is a member of the Chess Journalists of America and the Council on Foreign Relations. He is cofounder of Pro Musica Hebraica, a not-for-profit organization devoted to presenting Jewish classical music, much of it lost or forgotten, in a concert hall setting. On September 26, 2013, Krauthammer received the William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cnsnews.com/news/article/cnsnewscom-staff/charles-krauthammer-accepts-william-f-buckley-award-media-excellence )〕 Krauthammer has been married to Robyn, an artist, since 1974.
