| Lexicographer, born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. With Joseph H Friend, he edited Webster's New World Dictionary (1953) for the World Publishing Co, and thereby established a major new line of college dictionaries in the American market. As editor-in-chief of the Webster's New World Dictionaries (subsequently published by Simon & Schuster), he edited the Second College Edition (1970), and for nearly 40 years was one of the leading lexicographers in the USA. He retired at the end of 1985, but remained active as a consultant. |
