Up next former Washington Post executive editor ben bradlee appeared on booknotes in 1975 to workaround his journalism career. Mr. Bradlee died this past week at the age of 93. This program is about an hour. Cspan ben bradlee, one of the last things you tell us in your book is that you gave an anonymous gift to harvard and nothings happened. Guest well, i didnt want to have any publicity about it while i was still editor of the post. I thought that would be inappropriate. And so i yeah, i tried to thank the two influences in my life; one was kennedy and one was phil graham and the Washington Post. So i thought giving something to the Kennedy School, endowing a chair, would be appropriate, and i did and theyve been looking ever since. Cspan why has it taken so long . Guest i dont know. Cspan when you. Guest theyll find somebody. Cspan when you give an endowment to a school like the Kennedy School at harvard, how does it work . Guest well, you have first thing, you have absolutely no say
