Fresh Air with Terry Gross (Noon - 1pm)
 Terry remembers the former publisher of the Washington Post, KATHERINE
GRAHAM.  She died yesterday (July 17th) at the age of 84.  Graham's
father owned "the Post" in 1933 and later her husband, Phil Graham, took
over. Following her husband's suicide in  1963, Graham became publisher,
knowing little about the managerial or journalistic aspects of the job.
But, learning while she worked, she transformed the paper into one of
the country's most respected newspapers. "The Post" broke the Watergate
scandal and published the Pentagon Papers against a federal judge's
ruling. Graham also became chairman and CEO of the Washington  Post
Media company. She wrote about her childhood and experiences as
publisher in her autobiography "Personal History."
