Helen Thomas - 85 Years Young Today
2005-08-04
U.S. journalist.
That's what you'd call it...
Born to Lebanese immigrant parents, she grew up in Detroit and joined the UPI news agency in Washington, D.C., in 1943. A pioneer in overcoming the limitations on women in the news media, she became known for her bold and tireless pursuit of Republican Presidents information. Assigned to the White House in 1961, she became UPI bureau chief there in 1974. She is best known as the reporter traditionally first recognized at presidential press conferences.
Until Ari Fleischer dissed her...

#2  I like the juxtapositioning of this article above one entitled "Not the New Viagra." She's an older, nastier looking version of Madeline Albright.
