| | Woody West, 'rock' of Times, dies at 70 - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - May 02, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | Woody West, a longtime Washington newspaperman and former executive editor of The Washington Times, died yesterday at his home in Hagerstown, Md., of lung cancer that was diagnosed only a month ago. |
 | | "It is not an exaggeration to say that but for Woody's leadership, his drive and his knowledge of the business, The Washington Times might not be here today," Wesley Pruden, the editor in chief of The Times, said last night. |
 | | I particularly recall that on one night in those early days, when our presses went down on deadline, Woody told me: 'As long as we've got a working copy machine, we'll put something on the street.' He got the paper out. |
