Former Washington Post editor (1968-1991) Ben Bradlee has written his autobiography "A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures", which gives us a fascinating glimpse into the world of newspapers. Bradlee was the editor during Watergate and some say he was partly to blame for the downfall of President Nixon. In this interview, he talks about the adversarial situation between politicans and the media; his friendship with John F. Kennedy and of course, Watergate. (Originally aired January 1996)
