Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee quarreled with a TV talk show host, wanted to cool growth in local liquor stores and had doubts about whether his name should be used in acclaimed Watergate movie “All the President’s Men.”
This is according to a collection of nearly 70 boxes of personal papers from Bradlee acquired by the Harry Ransom Center, a University of Texas library specializing in original source material.
It depends on who gets wet,” Bradlee wrote in a note.
Actor Jason Robards played Bradlee, and won the Academy Award for best supporting actor.
