The name William S. Paley (1901-1990) will be forever intertwined withthat of two of the great institutions born in the 20th century:Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc (CBS), which he transformed from asmall radio network in the 1920s to a giant of American broadcasting,and MoMA – the first museum dedicated to Modern Art (founded in1929) which he championed for half a century. In these dual roles, hewas at the forefront of shaping American culture and taste - firstlybehind the lens of CBS at a time when television emerged as thegreatest new instrument of influence on the nation, and later at TheMuseum of Modern Art, Paley was the looking glass through whichAmerica saw itself at every momentous turn.
