Ben Bradlee, the legendary Washington Post editor, who led the paper during its Watergate era and turned it into a national and global reporting powerhouse, died on Tuesday at the age of 93.
“I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but we are in a holy profession,” Bradlee once said.
He was the Post’s executive editor from 1968 to 1991. RIP.
