Katherine Graham

Katherine Graham, 1917-2001. What an incredible woman. Her autobiography is a remarkably readable account of a woman thrown into the deep end and thriving with pluck, grace and uncommon intelligence. (We're not related, by the way.)

Lileks: "Sometimes I think I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly just to keep up on things I've neither the time nor the interest to keep up on. It's like reading a paper from a city where I lived for a few years. This week, for example, the cover tells of a Backstreet Boy who 'Breaks Down,' and from the pictures inside I can see why he drank too much: only under prolonged and constant intoxication could one accept the fact that you had stupider facial hair than Prince."
