He is very critical at times and has his own views and ideas. When I talk with him, I sense some generation gap. But after my announcement last week, for the first time he said to me, "Father, I respect...

...capital's movers and shakers, the scariest thing about Katharine Graham's 70th-birthday ; bash was not the long reach of her Washington Post Co. publishing empire but the possibility of not being invited. Among the 600 or more well-wishers at the fete organized by Graham's daughter Lally Weymouth: Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Secretary of State George Shultz, Senator Edward Kennedy, Publisher Malcolm Forbes, ABC Newswoman Barbara Walters and retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Lewis Powell. "Here's looking at you, kid," said the President as he toasted the liberal Graham in Casablanca style. Former Secretary of State...
