(CNN) -- Ben Bradlee, the zestful, charismatic Washington Post editor who guided the paper through the era of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate and was immortalized on screen in "All the President's Men," has died. He was 93.
Bradlee began end-of-life care at his home last month after suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia for several years. He was the executive editor of The Washington Post from 1968 to 1991, during which time the paper covered the downfall of President Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal.

His book “Conversations with Kennedy” was one of the most interesting books about JFK that I ever read.
Do we mourn the passing of a joun-Whore-alist?
As Kathleen Sebelius would say: "Some people live. Some people die."
He did more damage than good, so.....
Bradlee’s career as a reporter was helped when he just happened by be nearby during the assassination attempt on Truman in 1950.
“What difference at this point does it make?!”
He was a jerk. The people fawning all over him when he spoke at the university were flaming liberals and jerks too. That’s why they all approved of him.
So?
He was a marxist, and liar-in-chief at the washington compost, AKA Pravda on the Potomac.
May God have mercy on his soul.
