Katherine Graham was the sister-in-law of Bob Graham, who was DEMOCRAT Governor of Florida and a long-time U.S. Senator.
Katherine Graham - After a short romance, on June 5, 1940, she married Philip Graham, a graduate of Harvard Law School and a clerk for Stanley Reed and later Felix Frankfurter, both of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Graham’s husband became publisher of the Post in 1946, and continued in that position and then as the head of the Washington Post Company as it expanded into television and purchased Newsweek magazine.
After several years of erratic behavior — sullen, depressed and introverted times as well as magnanimous, hard-working, brilliant times, later diagnosed as bipolar disorder — Philip Graham suffered a nervous breakdown.
At a newspaper conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Philip Graham, either drunk, having a nervous breakdown, or both, told the audience that President Kennedy was having an affair with Mary Pinchot Meyer.
HE HAD TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (OR DRUNK) TO TELL THE TRUTH!!!
Philip Graham was taken to the private Chestnut Lodge psychiatric facility near Washington D.C.
