Ben Bradlee died on Oct. 21, 2014 at the age of 93. Bradlee was the editor of the Washington Post, one of the nation's premier newspapers, at a time when everyone got their news from the newspaper. Bradlee presided over one of the most important stories in the history of the country: Woodward and Bernstein's coverage of the Watergate break-in and scandal, which led to President Nixon's resignation. A staunch defender of the rights of journalists who himself was quite quotable and humorous, Bradlee is the source of these ten quotes about life, liberty, politics, and, of course, newspapers.
