Jack Anderson
Anderson, Jack (b Milwaukee, 15 June 1935). US poet and dance critic. He was educated at Northwestern University, Indiana University, and University of California (Berkeley) and has written for several publications: Dance Magazine, Ballet Review (contributing editor), Dancing Times (New York Correspondent), and New York Times. In 1977 he co-founded Dance Chronicle (with G. Dorris). He has taught dance history and criticism at Connecticut College, New School for Social Research, and Long Beach State University, and is author of several books including Dance (New York, 1974), The Nutcracker Ballet (New York, 1979), The One and Only: The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (London, 1981), Ballet and Modern Dance: A Concise History (Princeton, 1986, rev. 1992), The American Dance Festival (Duke Univ. Press, 1987), and Art Without Boundaries: The World of Modern Dance (Univ. of Iowa Press, 1997).
Anderson, Jack (Jackson Northman Anderson), 1922-2005, American newspaper columnist, b. Long Beach, Calif. After serving as a Mormon missionary (1941-44) and a term as a war correspondent during 1945, he was hired by Drew Pearson for the staff of his column, "Washington Merry-Go-Round." Anderson and Pearson later collaborated on The Case against Congress (1969). Anderson took over the column after Pearson's death in 1969 and retired from writing it in 2004. Controversial because of his unorthodox methods of obtaining news stories, Anderson nonetheless uncovered vital information, including facts about the Watergate affair. His reporting on the secret relations between the United States and Pakistan in its war with India won the 1972 Pulitzer Prize. He also revealed information on the Iran-contra affair during the Reagan administration. Anderson interviewed an enormous range of 20th-century figures; his later reporting is considered more moderate than his earlier work.
