I.F. Stone

Isidor Feinstein Stone, a trailblazing investigative journalist who left an indelible mark on the world of journalism, first drew breath on December 24, 1907, in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his parents, both of ethnic Russian Jewish descent, operated a series of thriving shops that would ultimately shape the family's entrepreneurial spirit and contribute to the development of Stone's own enterprising nature.
