	Washington:Greenfield, Meg:1586480278:eCampus.com
		An instant classic on the way Washington works-and a witty, provocative portrayal of the tribes that run it-by a revered Washington writer and editor Meg Greenfield, the illustrious long-time editorial page editor of the Washington Post, has written an instant classic that is as wise as it is wry.
		Greenfield came to Washington in 1961 at the beginning of the Kennedy administration and joined the Washington Post in 1968.
		She likens the political scene to a high school, where the inhabitants are completely self-absorbed in the peculiar life of the place, freshman congressmen undergo the rituals of indoctrination, and most individuals may be categorized as teacher's pets, hall monitors, or big men on campus.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Washington
		Greenfield, a reporter in Washington from 1971 until her death in 1999 and editor of the Washington Post op-ed page from 1979 onward, managed to live and work in the insular world of politicians and pundits without loosing her sense of proportion or her notorious sense of humor.
		In his afterword, Greenfield's literary executor Michael Beschloss writes that the author left behind notes for a final chapter that would have focused more on her life as a child and on her time spent at her summer home in Maine.
		While the completed manuscript would probably have painted a more well-rounded picture of Greenfield, the finely honed skewering of Beltway life that she did complete is in itself well worth the read.

	Online NewsHour: Remembering Meg Greenfield -- May 13, 1999
		Meg was canny enough only to assign me only those editorials that required no thought or knowledge; thus, when a golfer in Maryland was accused of murdering a goose on a golf course for interfering with his game-- he also ate the evidence- - the piece was my meat.
		Meg lived alone, and in a way, the news was her family-- frequently stupid, crooked and dangerous, but family.
		She was saved from the corrosive boredom that ruins other journalists by her knowledge of English literature, which she studied at Smith and later at Cambridge, and by her curiosity about history and biography and philosophy.

	Washington in Human Terms - Policy Review, No. 108 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Accordingly Meg Greenfield, purely by virtue of her position, was a much bigger cheese in Washington than the editorial page editor of, say, the Los Angeles Times is in L.A. And through her columns and the op-ed writers that she developed for the Post, she reached a national audience.
		What made Greenfield consistently interesting, even if you didn’t share her politics, was that she tried to dig beneath the conventional presentation of the issues of the day and to understand them in human terms.
		What Meg Greenfield has produced, particularly in the first few chapters of the book, is a sort of anecdotal meditation upon the people and folkways of political Washington during the nearly 40 years she lived there.

		Greenfield really understood the city she came to settle in, and she really understood people.
		When Greenfield started out in 1961 the position of women was such that she was not permitted to set foot in the National Press Club, not even to check the wire service ticker.
		Greenfield concludes the book with a discussion of journalism - the delicate line between cooperation and collusion, the hypocrisy of virtue, the formulation of an ethics code at the Post.

	May/June 2001
		Meg Greenfield, the late, great Newsweek columnist and editorial-page editor of The Washington Post, started writing Washington in the early 1990s, unbeknown to even her closest friends.
		But Beschloss pored over the multiple drafts of each section Greenfield had stored on computer disks labeled with "Greek-sounding code names" and hidden in various nooks and crannies of her home office, and, in consultation with a handful of other Greenfield intimates, saw the manuscript through to publication this year.
		Instead, it is a kind of anthropological memoir, a study, through the lens of Greenfield's nearly four-decades-long career, of the folks and folkways that mark the center of government and make the environs inside the Beltway seem so very foreign to the rest of the nation.

		Meg may have been small in stature, but she was a giant in impact and intellect.
		Greenfield's Washington, published posthumously and edited by her friend and colleague Michael Beschloss, does not disappoint.
		Greenfield's Washington also gives us what she considers rare individuals, those people who, despite all odds, maintain their integrity and manage to "do some good." She contends that Washington creates in its characters a fabricated identity which masks and transposes the true person.

		Greenfield calls this the “two-track persona, which is partly learned and partly instinctive in politicians.” A game of deception and false presentation, employed from childhood, is the formula for a successful politician.
