Ben Bradlee

The Watergate burglary was 50 years ago this week. Iconic renowned Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee played a central role in covering Watergate.   He took over at the Post in 1965, in the thick of Vietnam, the civil Rights movement and a changing journalism landscape. And although Watergate may be the thing he is best remembered for now, it was not the only major story he was involved in. I met Ben Bradlee in 1995, when he wrote his autobiography, a book called A Good Life.
