From Wikipedia: "Serge Schmemann (born April 12, 1945) is a writer and editorial page editor of the International Herald Tribune, the global edition of the New York Times. Earlier in his career, he worked for the Associated Press and was a bureau chief and editor for the New York Times. Born in France, he moved to the United States as a child, in 1951. He visited his ancestral homeland for the first time only in 1980 when he arrived as Moscow correspondent for the Associated Press. It was not until 1990 that the Soviet authorities allowed him to visit his grandparents' home village near Kaluga. His reflections on the changing fate of the village provided the subject matter for his memoirs, published in 1997. Writing for The New York Times, he won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1991 for his coverage of the reunification of Germany. The September 12, 2001 New York Times featured a front-page article written by Schmemann about the September 11 attacks."
