Abstract: Papers of John M. Hightower, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Associated Press correspondent and editor who specialized in international affairs. Most of the collection consists of notebooks, 1944-1971, about interviews, press conferences, and Hightower's own research. Correspondence, 1945-1960, includes informative personal letters about his coverage of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Russia, 1947, and Berlin, 1954. Background files exist primarily on such government officials as John Foster Dulles, W. Averell Harriman, and George C. Marshall.
