Ben Bradlee, A Memoriam

 

The late Ben Bradlee, who died today, appeared twice for interviews on The Q&A Cafe.  First with Bob Woodward, and then a second time with his wife, Sally Quinn, and their son, Quinn Bradlee. The family interview, taped at Nathans, was broadcast and is preserved on YouTube. It's a rare and interesting glimpse of their closeness. Others who knew him better and longer will have many words to write and say about him, and I will read their eulogies with appreciation and sadness. I put up this interview as my own memoriam.
