Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on July 30, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Stephen! From steering BusinessWeek through two decades of groundbreaking journalism to pioneering the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism as its inaugural dean, you've always had a knack for making headlines—literally. Your career has been nothing short of legendary; rumor has it even your coffee breaks were Pulitzer-worthy.

As you celebrate another year, remember: age is just a number—but in journalism terms, you're officially vintage and priceless. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer deadlines than usual. Here's to many more years of inspiring journalists everywhere—cheers to you!
