Henry Anatole Grunwald (December 3, 1922 - February 26, 2005) was an Austrian-born journalist and diplomat perhaps best known for his position as managing editor of TIME magazine and editor in chief of Time, Inc. Grunwald was born Heinz Anatol Gr nwald in Vienna. His father, Alfred Gr nwald, wrote libretti for operettas by Leh r, K lm n and Oscar Straus. His mother was Mila L wenstein. However, in 1938, after the Anschluss, the family left Austria, first for Czechoslovakia, then Paris, and eventually, in 1940, after brief periods in Biarritz, Casablanca, and Lisbon, for the United States. Grunwald had ambitions to be a playwright, but got a job as a copy boy at TIME while studying at New York University. Grunwald worked his way up at TIME magazine until his retirement in 1987, when he was succeeded as Editor-in-Chief by Jason McManus. He was the first to give TIME writers bylines, a practice which had not been allowed previously. He also introduced new departments such as Behavior, Energy, The Sexes, Economy and Dance. He ordered the famous (some say infamous) cover article, "Is God Dead?" He moved the magazine away from Republican partisanship.
