Katherine Graham: Doyenne of Publishing

Biographical profile of Katharine Graham, who once described herself as a doormat wife, but subsequently became one of the most powerful figures in America during the 20th Century. The New York Times called her a "publishing legend." William Buckley, the conservative columnist, said she was a "mythogenic figure" and "a natural star." Television host Larry King described her as a woman who "made editorial decisions that changed American history." Graham's metamorphosis from a doormat to a phenom, a life she called a "fairy tale," is a great story for anyone seeking inspiration. Award-winning author and syndicated columnist Daniel Alef, who has written more than 300 biographical profiles of America's great titans, tells the story of Graham's remarkable and moving life.
