David Broder on a collegue

David S. Broder - Beyond Election Day - washingtonpost.com:

I mourn the death of a great reporter and a good friend and colleague, Helen Dewar, who gave Post readers definitive coverage of Virginia politics and the Senate over the past decades. She dominated those beats without ever raising her voice or flaunting her knowledge, and she managed to do everything -- including fight the breast cancer that killed her -- with immense dignity and good humor.
