Happy rainy Wednesday. The heavens weep for Ben Bradlee. If someone tried putting that line in the paper, Bradlee would have fired him.

No-one who knew Ben Bradlee will ever forget him, the supreme swashbuckling editor and a man of limitless loyalty and generosity. A giant.

In ’54, Ben Bradlee used to broadcast on CBS radio as “Ben Lenox”. He gave it up. Radio’s loss was print journalism’s gain.

I think every male journalist in my timeline wanted to be Ben Bradlee.

The term “journalism hero” can feel like an oxymoron in today’s business. But Ben Bradlee, journalism hero, always sounded right and true.

When I told my father I met Ben Bradlee and spoke to him about an overrated NFL QB about 10 years ago, he was never prouder of my career.

So sad to hear of passing of Ben Bradlee. One of the proudest moments in my life was being hired by Ben. There’ll never be another like him.
