Young, Hugo John Smelter
▪ 2004

      British political journalist (b. Oct. 13, 1938, Sheffield, Eng.—d. Sept. 22, 2003, London, Eng.), for 30 years wrote with elegance and scholarship from a liberal perspective; his column was considered essential reading for those interested in politics. Young began working for the Sunday Times in 1965 and became the head writer of the paper's editorials in 1966. As the paper's political editor (1973–84), he pioneered the weekly opinion column for which he became known. He began writing a twice-weekly column for The Guardian in 1984. In addition, he was the author of several books, notably One of Us (1989; U.S. title, The Iron Lady), a biography of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and This Blessed Plot (1998), on Britain's relationship with continental Europe.
