	Mary McGrory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary McGrory (August 22, 1918 – April 20, 2004) was an American journalist and columnist.
		Born in Boston, Massachusetts to Edward and Mary McGrory, she shared her father's love of Latin and writing, and she graduated from the Girls' Latin School and began her career as a book reviewer at The Boston Herald.
		McGrory won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975, for her articles about the Watergate scandal.

	Congressman Martin T. Meehan (MA05) - Press Release - Meehan Honors Mary McGrory
		Mary McGrory was known for her strong opinions, which were liberal without equivocation or apology.
		But when I think of Mary, I will always remember her as a newspaper reporter, who gathered facts the old-fashioned way: by watching events and taking notes, staking out meetings of congressional leadership to be the first to get an interview, and relentlessly working the phones.
		“Mary was a star attraction at my annual legislative seminar, where she entertained and educated my constituents with a lifetime of stories about Washington and the political figures that have shaped the nation.

		Although she was well acquainted with the powerbrokers of Washington, she never stopped being a street reporter, and confessed that, in the absence of dinners with the famous, she sometimes resorted to the public record, while always seeking something new to tell her readers.
		Her editor at the Washington Star gave McGrory a curious directive: she should describe the sessions as in a letter to a favourite aunt.
		Latterly, however, McGrory scorned Blair's chumminess with George W Bush, mocking his "devotion" to the "curious policy of America the Bully, the doctrine invented in 1998 by some hard-breathing, hard-hat nationalists, many of whom are running the government these days".

	Pulitzer-Winning Columnist Mary McGrory Dies
		A tireless reporter well into her 80s, McGrory - who died late Wednesday at an area hospital - was a revered and influential figure in journalism in a career spanning five decades, from the Joseph McCarthy hearings during the 1950s to the 2003 Iraq war.
		Heralding her debut as a commentator, McGrory was tapped in 1954 to cover the Army-McCarthy hearings, which were held after the Army charged that Wisconsin Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy was interfering with operations as he searched for communists.
		McGrory was not one to rest on her laurels.

	The Death of Mary McGrory
		For those unfortunates unfamiliar with her work, Mary was a columnist in Washington for fifty years, first for The Washington Star, then after the Star perished in 1981, for The Washington Post.
		Mary was truly unique among newspaper columnists: she left her office to do her job.
		But Mary married the gumption and discipline of a beat reporter with the style and insight of an opinion journalist.

	Columns: Mary Gloria McGrory still follows her Star
		Mary is recovering from a stroke she suffered last March, and the doctors cannot say when, if ever, she will be able to write again.
		Mary once explained the difference between the Star and the Post by contrasting them with two of the world's great cities: "The Star, disheveled, disorganized, welcoming, mellow and forgiving, was Rome.
		She thought for a moment and said, "It was the atmosphere of caring." She gave an example: The long day Mary put in covering the funeral of President John F. Kennedy left her emotionally and physically drained.

	Mona Charen
		McGrory, the pungent liberal columnist who died last April at the age of 85, was, improbably enough, a Tom DeLay fan.
		McGrory volunteered at St. Anne's Infant and Maternity Home and was a lifelong advocate of adoption and assistance to children in foster care.
		McGrory knew, though few others in America do, that Tom DeLay is a forceful advocate for abused and neglected children, and that he and his wife raised three foster children in their own home.

	Appreciation: Mary McGrory, Post columnist, dies
		I recall it as a metaphor for Mary’s vocation as a newspaperwoman: the national columnist most revered for journalistic legwork engaging, naturally, in physical legwork.
		As in every McGrory column, her pace was fast, her direction clear and her eye alert to the details, including her thoughts on the tulips, squirrels and war protesters in Lafayette Park.
		When readers began asking where the McGrory column was, the Post ran letters and columns, all of them ardently grateful for the years and years of her labors.
