Isidor Feinstein Stone (December 24, 1907 – June 18, 1989), born Isidor Feinstein, better known as I. F. Stone and Izzy Stone, was an American investigative journalist and author. He is best remembered for his self-published newsletter, ''I. F. Stone's Weekly''. In 1999, a New York University poll of journalists ranked ''I.F. Stone’s Weekly'' at 16 in "The Top 100 Works of Journalism in the United States in the 20th Century," placing the ''Weekly'' second among print journalism. ==Early years== Stone was born Isidor Feinstein in Philadelphia. His parents were Russian Jewish immigrants who owned a store in Haddonfield, New Jersey. His sister is journalist and film critic Judy Stone.〔(Muckraker ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', June 20, 1989. Accessed October 28, 2007. "Born in Philadelphia and raised in Haddonfield, New Jersey, Mr. Stone worked many years on newspapers in South Jersey, Philadelphia (including a brief period for The Inquirer) and New York..."〕 He studied philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, where he wrote for the ''Philadelphia Inquirer'' as a student.〔 Stone attended Haddonfield Memorial High School, where he ultimately graduated ranked 49th in his class of 52. He started his own newspaper, the ''Progress'', as a high school sophomore. He later worked for the ''Haddonfield Press'' and the ''Camden Courier-Post''. After dropping out of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied philosophy, he joined the ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', then known as the "Republican Bible of Pennsylvania".〔 Influenced by the work of Jack London, he became a radical journalist. He joined the ''Inquirer''’s morning rival, the ''Philadelphia Record'', owned by Democrat committee man J. David Stern and he moved to the ''New York Post'' after Stern bought that paper during the Great Depression.〔("ketupa.net media profiles: curtis" ).

But in the wake of the Hitler-Stalin pact in August 1939 Stone wrote to a friend saying “no more fellow traveling” and used his column in ''The Nation'' to denounce Stalin as “the Moscow Machiavelli who suddenly found peace as divisible as the Polish plains and marshes”.〔D. D. Guttenplan, ''(American Radical: The Life and Times of I. F. Stone )'', pág 149. Northwestern University Press.〕 In his 20s, he joined the Socialist Party of America after reading Karl Marx, Jack London, Kropotkin and Herbert Spencer. Although he later left the Socialist Party after perceived divisiveness in the American Left.〔(I.F. Stone, July 1963 ) "I had become a radical in the ‘20s while in my teens, mostly through reading Jack London, Herbert Spencer, Kropotkin and Marx. I became a member of the Socialist Party and was elected to the New Jersey State Committee of the Socialist Party before I was old enough to vote. I did publicity for Norman Thomas in the 1928 campaign while a reporter on a small city daily, but soon drifted away from left-wing politics because of the sectarianism of the left."〕 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「I.
