I deplored the author's use of crude language, and was appalled he told of using hashish and pot, and was really disgusted by his frequent adultery. He has been married three times and his personal life cannot be called "good." He was a great friend of Edward Bennett Williams and of JFK. He does conclude that if JFK's private life had been known he'd have been impeached. It is a super-interesting life, but I'm glad I don't move in his circles. (  )Schmerguls | Feb 20, 2008 |   Bradlee knew so many people in Washington during his tenure at the Post, you gain a lot of insight into the major players at the time.

While serving as the Washington Post's Executive Editor from 1968 to 1991, the newspaper became a world-renowned and respected model of fearless and innovative journalism. A witty and candid story of a good life -- and a great read.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:57 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
