Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on July 09, 1933)

Happy Birthday, Hedrick! Another year wiser and still scooping stories faster than anyone else can say "Pulitzer Prize." Your groundbreaking reporting on the Soviet Union back in '74 remains legendary—rumor has it even Brezhnev secretly admired your investigative skills. You've set a high bar for journalists everywhere; we're just glad you didn't defect to fiction writing!

Here's wishing you another fantastic trip around the sun filled with laughter, joy, and fewer deadlines (though we doubt you'd slow down). May this birthday be as memorable as your iconic headlines—and may no editor ever dare trim one word from today's celebrations!
