Helen Thomas Leaves Her Front Seat on History

By: Marilyn Greenwald | July 25, 2013

I got to know her during the time she spent in candid lunches with journalism students at the Scripps School of Journalism during the mid-1990s. In an era of rapid change and hyperbole, she stood for so much. Thank you, Helen.
