Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on October 04, 1944)

Happy Birthday, John F. Burns! Celebrating another year of your fearless reporting and unmatched wit—your Pulitzer Prize-winning adventures have set the bar impossibly high for journalists everywhere. From navigating war zones to decoding British politics as London bureau chief for The New York Times, you've always managed to keep readers informed (and entertained) with your sharp insights.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer deadlines and more cake than usual. May you continue to inspire us all by proving that journalism can indeed be both groundbreaking and delightfully British-humored. Cheers to you, John—may this year bring even more memorable stories!
