  <abstract>Correspondence and memoranda; family papers; drafts of published and unpublished articles, reports, columns, and interviews; notes and notebooks; dispatches and news cables; research material; and other papers documenting Osborne's career as a reporter, editor, and columnist for Time, Life, and the New Republic.  Much of the collection relates to his New Republic column on national politics and the presidency entitled "The Nixon Watch" that continued as "White House Watch" during the Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.  Also includes Osborne's World War II reports from Europe and stories on the London blitz, Communist takeover of China, and the Korean War and other articles from his posts in London, Rome, Tokyo, New York, N.Y., and Washington, D.C.  Research notes and background material for prospective but unpublished biographies of James  Forrestal and John F. Kennedy and a work on the Vietnamese Conflict are also contained in the collection.  Correspondents include Henry Robinson Luce.</abstract>
