Mary McGrory : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mary McGrory Mary McGrory (August 22, 1918 – April 20, 2004) was an American journalist and columnist. She specialized in American politics, and was noted for her detailed coverage of political maneuverings. She wrote over 8,000 columns, but no books, and made very few media or lecture appearances.〔 John Norris, ''Mary McGrory'' (2015) 〕 She was a fierce opponent of the Vietnam War and was on Richard Nixon's enemies list. One reviewer said: :McGrory is what you get when proximity to power, keen observation skills, painstaking reporting, a judgmental streak and passionate liberalism coalesce in a singularly talented writer — one whose abilities are matched by the times.〔Carlos Lozada, "Mary McGrory, the revolutionary insider of Washington journalism," (''Washington Post'' Oct 8, 2015 )〕 ==Career== She was born in Roslindale, Boston, Massachusetts to Edward and Mary McGrory, a tight-knit Irish Catholic family. Her father was a postal clerk and she shared his love of Latin and writing. She graduated from the Girls' Latin School and Emmanuel College and began her career as a book reviewer at ''The Boston Herald''. She was hired in 1947 by ''The Washington Star'' and began her career as a journalist, a path she was inspired to take by reading ''Jane Arden'' comic strips. She rose to prominence as their reporter covering the McCarthy hearings in 1954, portraying McCarthy as a typical neighborhood Irish bully. McGrory won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1975, for her articles about the Watergate scandal. The day after the ''Star'' went out of business in 1981, she went to work for ''The Washington Post''. In 1985, McGrory received the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award as well as an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Colby College. She died in Washington at the age of 85.
