| | The American Enterprise: Judith Martin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | Judith Martin, known as "Miss Manners" in her widely circulated writings on etiquette, is an updated successor to Emily Post and Amy Vanderbilt, a witty writer who applies pa-nache, humor, and grace to her interpretations of cultural style and civility. |
 | | Now 65, Martin was born and raised in the nation's capital, attended Wellesley College, and went to work for the Washington Post--where she became a reporter, film and theater critic, and founding member of the paper's Style section. |
 | | MARTIN: Well, if I weren't optimistic, perhaps foolishly so, I couldn't go on with this, could I? If I may say so, it took me almost 25 years, but I put America back onto the way of thinking that etiquette is important in our lives. |
