A Great Woman Who Was Everywoman. With all the pain and late blooming that implies, Katharine Graham helped bring us out of a very different past. Because we are all in transition to an equality no one has ever known, she'll be a touchstone for the future

評分寫的非常真摯 商業用語錶達值得我學習 個人成長經曆能藉鑒 而且很豁達
評分邂逅:2013.3.5.Strand書店1美元清倉; 旅程:2013.3.10.-2013.3.22.; 地點:傢中; 老奶奶迴憶往事異常瑣碎,有時寡淡有時如同嘮嗑;但奇怪的是還是欲罷不能地成瞭三月前半段的第一本也是唯一一本書。吸引人之處,我覺得一是“名人嘮嗑”(所謂tabloid,名人三長兩短總歸聚集眾人目光orz...所以想想書中動不動就齣現的總統名字吧~),二是關於她老公自殺、五角大樓文件以及毫無疑問水門事件的迴憶;LBNL,就是格雷厄姆奶奶接手WP之後,從多疑、無自信、自信心易受挫的廢墟中閃現齣來的對人對事的老到、豁達的正能量。
Katharine Graham was the legendary publisher of The Washington Post. She died in July 2001.
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Biography
An extraordinarily frank, honest, and generous book by one of America's most famous and admired women, Personal History is, as its title suggests, a book composed of both personal memoir and history.
It is the story of Graham's parents: the multimillionaire father who left private business and government service to buy and restore the down-and-out Washington Post , and the formidable, self-absorbed mother who was more interested in her political and charity work, and her passionate friendships with men like Thomas Mann and Adlai Stevenson, than in her children.
It is the story of how The Washington Post struggled to succeed -- a fascinating and instructive business history as told from the inside (the paper has been run by Graham herself, her father, her husband, and now her son).
It is the story of Phil Graham -- Kay's brilliant, charismatic husband (he clerked for two Supreme Court justices) -- whose plunge into manic-depression, betrayal, and eventual suicide is movingly and charitably recounted.
Best of all, it is the story of Kay Graham herself. She was brought up in a family of great wealth, yet she learned and understood nothing about money. She is half-Jewish, yet -- incredibly -- remained unaware of it for many years.She describes herself as having been naive and awkward, yet intelligent and energetic. She married a man she worshipped, and he fascinated and educated her, and then, in his illness, turned from her and abused her. This destruction of her confidence and happiness is a drama in itself, followed by the even more intense drama of her new life as the head of a great newspaper and a great company, a famous (and even feared) woman in her own right. Hers is a life that came into its own with a vengeance -- a success story on every level.
Graham's book is populated with a cast of fascinating characters, from fifty years of presidents (and their wives), to Steichen, Brancusi, Felix Frankfurter, Warren Buffett (her great advisor and protector), Robert McNamara, George Schultz (her regular tennis partner), and, of course, the great names from the Post : Woodward, Bernstein, and Graham's editorpartner, Ben Bradlee. She writes of them, and of the most dramatic moments of her stewardship of the Post (including the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, and the pressmen's strike), with acuity, humor, and good judgment. Her book is about learning by doing, about growing and growing up, about Washington, and about a woman liberated by both circumstance and her own great strengths.
这是一本好书,可以提供足够多的视角来阅读。 从宏观角度来说,作者的显赫家世、《华盛顿邮报》的行业特点和地理位置、作者八十余岁的生命决定了这本书里满是名人,简直像历史人物对对碰。从罗斯福、杜鲁门到克林顿的历任美国总统及竞选人都是作者家族的座上宾,有些上位也离不...

評分 評分1972年6月17日,位于华盛顿的美国民主党总部水门大厦闯入了几名可疑人员,并被保安人员抓获。这件事情在大多数媒体看来,只不过是一起普通的行窃案。但是《华盛顿邮报》的两名年轻记者却发现里面有蹊跷,这五人在警察局登记的名字都是化名。经过一番调查,他们发现真相令人震惊...
評分中文版的劣质翻译真是糟蹋了这本普利策获奖传记。水门事件部分和邮报主编Ben Bradlee的A Good Life 相差无几,Graham 能给中国读者最大的奉献不是勇敢的公开私生活的细节,而是从最核心处展示了邮报上升为和时报齐名的报纸的过程。
