[edit] Agenda?
The quote about keeping secrets - which I moved to a separate section - seems jerry-rigged to make some sort of point. It needs to be included in more context: It implies that Graham's career was built on keeping things from people and helping the government hide things. - DavidWBrooks 01:58, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Philip Graham's Arizona conference episode
Reverted from reversion by John Broughton, added sources. This is very much about Katharine, when she flies to Arizona to escort her husband back to DC, after he has accurately and publicly "outed" President Kennedy for having an affair with Mary Pincot Meyer, then been drugged against his will, tied into a straitjacket, and hustled across country. Kennedy's affair with Meyer has been corraborated by a dozen people, it is no longer controversial. The story of Kate Graham is the story of a woman utterly enmeshed in DC power circles. This is the most important example of that story. Sources include:

- I've done another edit - I tried to leave as much information in the article as possible while not turning it into a duplicate of the Philip Graham article, which is where all of your sources, above, belong. I appreciate all the work you're doing on this, but Katherine Graham was influenced by a lot of people - her father, her husband, Ben Bradlee, Warren Buffett, etc. If any extended details of those lives went into Katharine's article, it would be closer to a book than an article.
- Also, putting sources into a talk/discussion page is not standard in any way. Among other reasons, content in these pages often is archived. John Broughton 18:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
