guest: the katharine graham story is particularly poignant on this matter. she was close friends with robert mcnamara at the time. in the late 1960's during the , there was a lot of coming and going between people in government and the press and universities and foundations and think tanks. so, it could get to be very confusing. the thing that was so special about this moment in history for katharine graham is she had to let go of a lot of attachments in order that she had for her to move forward and give the green light to publish the pentagon papers. she made the decision to do that in the course of a two-minute telephone conversation where she was being advised by lawyers and financial people not to do it, and yet she still decided to do it. this was a moment where she stepped into her own as a dynamic and responsible, and courageous leader of a major public company to do the right thing for the nation. what that is like today in washington, i have to confess i am in new york and not in washington, i am a law professor and not in government. i am not sure
