<p> DIED. HARRISON SALISBURY, 84, journalist and author; en route
to his home in Taconic, Connecticut. Journalism, with its manic
pursuit of the immediate, and history, with its eye on the ultimate,
are importantly distinct crafts, yet Salisbury excelled at both.
He wrote elegant historical accounts of epic 20th century struggles,
such as The 900 Days: the Siege of Leningrad and The Long March:
The Untold Story. At the same time, Salisbury made his mark
as an editor and reporter at the New York Times, winning a Pulitzer
Prize in 1955 for "Russia Re-viewed," a pioneering series on
Stalinist enormities; directing the paper's coverage of events
such as the assassination of JFK; and serving as the first editor
of the Op-Ed page, which in both its form and substance became
a singularly influential national forum.
