This article presents information about the newspaper "Washington Post," and its publisher Katharine Graham. After her husband Phil Graham's suicide, Katharine was left with a newspaper she resolved to run herself. The basic mistake is to call the Washington Post a liberal paper, or its late proprietor a liberal in any active sense, unless is a person wants to disfigure the word by applying it to such of her friends as Robert McNamara. When it came to war criminals she was an equal opportunity hostess.
