The Post is a remarkable story. Eugene Meyer bought it at a bankruptcy auction in the Depression. He let his fellow traveler son-in-law Phil Graham run it. Graham went insane, committed suicide or was murdered. His widow Katherine Graham ran the business after. It became hugely successful. After her death in 2001, the print business failed.
The Curse of the Hope Diamond?

The Hope Diamond
On January 28, 1911, in a deal made in the offices of The Washington Post, McLean’s husband purchased the Hope Diamond for $180,000 (equivalent to $4,627,000 in 2016) from Pierre Cartier of Cartier Jewelers in New York.[3][4] The Hope Diamond was associated with a curse, and McLean’s first son was killed in a car accident. Her husband Ned ran off with another woman and eventually died in a sanitarium. Their family newspaper, The Washington Post, went bankrupt. Eventually McLean’s daughter died of a drug overdose, and one of her grandsons died in the Vietnam War. McLean never believed the curse had anything to do with her misfortunes.
