For more than half a century, St. John traveled the world in search of breaking news long before the onset of 24-hour news cycles - in an era in which some of the most incisive reporting was done by lone wolf, on-the-ground freelance writers who, in search of an unfolding scoop, were frequently required to dip into their own pockets for international airfare. Baltimore Jewish Times Author InformationFor thirty-five years, Terry Fred Horowitz ran his own architectural firm. During that time, he earned additional degrees in history from the University of Maryland and a master’s in congressional studies from Catholic University.
