 GSB: DCDave's Column
In researching the context of Katharine Graham's power, I found that both her late husband Philip, from whom she inherited the newspaper in 1963, and Benjamin Bradlee, whom she hired as executive editor in 1965, had been part of a group of men who worked with strategic information during the Second World War.
In the original edition of this book, Bradlee was described as a State Department appointee who, while at the embassy, produced CIA material occasionally, before returning permanently to journalism.
We might add, for what it is worth, that the subordinate he married in 1978 (for whom he left his wife of long standing), the blond and much younger Sally Quinn, is the daughter of one of the founders of the CIA, General William Quinn.
