2801 A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures, by Ben Bradlee (read 18 Nov 1995) The author ran the Washington Post from 1968 to 1991. 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. ( )

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. ( )
