Here is an apt description of Michael Stern in the "San Diego Union-Tribune" April 19, 2009: " Michael Stern, a swashbuckling foreign correspondent who filed some of the first dispatches from Rome as Allied forces entered the city, and, in his later career as a philanthropist, helped save the aircraft carrier "Intrepid".
Mr. Stern joined the U.S. Army in 1943 as a war correspondent for Fawcett and the North American Newspaper Alliance. After being shipped out to Algeria, he traveled with U.S. forces through Sicily and up the boot of Italy.
In 1964, Mr. Stern recounted his Italian experiences in ?An American in Rome.? ?This is a tough boy, and he writes tough prose,? Robert Ruark wrote in his foreword to the book. ?He is also a legend in modern Rome,? he added.".
