BEN BRADLEE: Not Such a Good Life
#3
Holy crap!!! These two pieces start with a detailed summary of just how closely Bradlee and his Brahman relations were to the CIA, and end with a savage re-examination of the Post's real.. uh... let's say "focused" reporting on the Watergate scandal and the diminishing role of Main Stream Media in America. There are many important revelations between these themes.

The relations of Bradlee to the Pinchot Sisters and the facts about Mary's death are beautifully summarized. I had no idea that Angleton allegedly held Mary's diary for more than a decade and then returned it to Mrs. Bradlee who burned it. (It would be interesting to know if Jim Di believes this account.)

It was also a revelation to me that Bradlee actively sought to discredit the Veciana report that he (Veciana) saw "Lee Harvey Oswald" meeting with Maurice Bishop/David Phillips at Dallas's Southland building on Sept. 1, 1963. (If this observation is accurate, Veciana saw American-born Lee Oswald, who was probably getting instructions from Phillips on how to proceed with the frame-up of Russian-speaking Harvey Oswald, who at the time was still living with Marina in New Orleans. Harvey didn't leave New Orleans until Sept 25.)

This is a remarkable essay. Thanks again to James DiEugenio!
