A larger-than-life character who covered 10 presidents and knocked down barriers to women throughout her career.

RIP.

Had the pleasure of meeting Helen in the late '80s when I spent a lot of time in Washington during UPI's bankruptcy. True pioneer.

They were of a right age, but I think Bebe Rebozo was more Helen's speed.

RIP

Exactly what I was thinking . . . two days ago.

There was more discussion on Lisa Olson getting some award a few weeks ago.

Hope Lisa doesn't say something controversial when she's 90, lest all her accomplishments be ignored.
