Ben Bradlee, the legendary editor of The Washington Post, died yesterday at age 93. He brought the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate scandal into peoples’ homes, forever changing history, establishing new ground for freedom of the press, and cementing The Washington Post’s role in journalism. In the 26 years Bradlee had the top job, The Post took home 18 Pulitzers. Ben Bradlee loved a good story, and told a lot of them. He once said he had the “best damn job in the world.”
