Felix Muskett Morley (January 6, 1894 – March 13, 1982) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from the United States. ==Biography== Morley was born in Haverford, Pennsylvania, his father being the mathematician Frank Morley. Like his brothers, Christopher and Frank, Felix was educated at Haverford College and enjoyed a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, England. He obtained a Guggenheim Fellowship to study the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, which resulted in his book ''The Society of Nations'' (1933) and a Ph.D. from the Brookings Institution. From 1933 to 1940, Morley worked as editor for ''The Washington Post'', winning, in 1936, the paper's first Pulitzer Prize, for his "distinguished editorial writing during the year." The Pulitzer Prize came after the Franklin D. Roosevelt's National Industrial Recovery Act was nullified by the U.S. Supreme Court. Morley had written that Roosevelt "turned his back on the traditions and principles of his party and gave tremendous support stimulus to the move for a complete political realignment in the United States." In 1940, Morley left journalism for a post as President of Haverford College. He also supported Wendell Willkie that year as presidential candidate. Morley said he lost faith in Roosevelt after his Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 to pack the Supreme Court and that Roosevelt had a "debonair attitude of pulling tricks out of a bag." Morley was one of the founding editors of ''Human Events'' in 1944, where he opposed federal overreach and foreign interventionism.〔Gillian Peele, 'American Conservatism in Historical Perspective', in ''Crisis of Conservatism? The Republican Party, the Conservative Movement, & American Politics After Bush'', Gillian Peele, Joel D. Aberbach (eds.), Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011, p.21〕 However, he left ''Human Events'' in 1950 because of its aggressive military stance towards the Soviet Union. He was also one of the founding members of the classical liberal Mont Pelerin Society in 1946. After resigning from Haverford College, he continued his journalistic work at NBC and for ''Nation's Business''. He published his memoirs, ''For the Record'', in 1977. Other books he published after the war were ''The Power in the People'' (1949), ''The Foreign Policy of the United States'' (1951) and ''Freedom and Federalism'' (1959).〔 Also published, in 1956, is his utopian novel ''Gumption Island''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felix Morley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
