Ben Bradlee died on October 20. He presided over the Washington Post's reporting of the break-in at the Watergate building in 1972 that led to the fall of President Nixon.
Bradlee: "No matter how many spin doctors were provided, no matter how many sides of how many arguements, from Watergate on I started looking for the truth after hearing the official version of a truth."
In a memoir he wrote that the only prescription he had for the practice of journalism was a simple one:
"Put out the best, most honest newspaper you can today. And put out a better one the next day."
