WASHINGTON – Mr Don Graham, whose family owned the Washington Post for 80 years, published a touching eulogy for the newspaper’s sports department on Feb 4 after he learned it was being eliminated by Mr Jeff Bezos, the man who bought his family business.
“I will have to learn a new way to read the paper, since I have started with the sports page since the late 1940s,” Mr Graham wrote on Facebook.
