William Holmes Honan (May 11, 1930 – April 28, 2014) was an American journalist and author who directed coverage of the arts at ''The New York Times'' as its culture editor in the 1980s. Honan also held senior editorial positions at the ''New York Times Magazine'', ''Newsweek'', ''Saturday Review'' and ''The Villager'', a weekly newspaper serving downtown Manhattan. As a reporter, Honan set (and continues to hold) the record for the most stories published in the ''New York Times Magazine'' (over 30). Honan also helped solve one of the biggest and longest unsolved art thefts of the 20th century: the disappearance of over $200 million worth of medieval treasures from Quedlinburg, Germany at the end of World War II. Honan was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative reporting on this story. The quest to find the "Quedlinburg Hoard" later became the subject of one of Honan's numerous critically acclaimed books. ==Early life== Honan was born in Manhattan on May 11, 1930, the son of William Francis Honan, a thoracic surgeon and Annette Neudecker Honan, a journalist. He is a brother of Park Honan, an academic and author. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1952 with a bachelor's degree in history. In 1955 he earned a master's degree in drama from the University of Virginia.〔 After serving in the Army, Honan moved to New York City where he managed Ed Koch's early political campaigns and began a notable career in journalism. 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「William Honan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
