Above the Fold a few weeks ago had an interesting Interview with Linda Greenhouse.
"When Linda Greenhouse started covering the United States Supreme Court for the New York Times Jimmy Carter was president Except for a couple of years in the '80s, she remained on the beat continuously for three decades. No other Times reporter of this era seemed so inseparable for so long from the subject she covered. Greenhouse is a woman of legendary intelligence, focus and seriousness. Right from the start, every story she wrote about the Court had two signature qualities: all of them were easy to understand, and all of them were authoritative. When she announced earlier this year that she had decided to take the buyout and retire, it felt like an indispensable part of the Times was falling away. This week was the first time in more than 20 years that the Court reconvened without Greenhouse there to chronicle its decisions."
