Meg Greenfield at Work

In the late 1970s, Roger Rosenblatt was a journalist at the Washington Post. He tells how his boss, Meg Greenfield, assigned him an editorial about an irate golfer who murdered a goose on the links when it interfered with his game. To make matters worse, he apparently ate the evidence. Rosenblatt wrote up the Post's position on the case, but he still needed a title for the piece. As he rushed past Greenfield's desk to submit the article he shouted, "What shall we call this?" Without looking up from her paperwork she replied, "Honk if you think he's guilty."
