purejuiceHow it's done:
Maralee Schwartz, who edited Mr. Broder at The Post for more than a decade, recalled in a telephone interview that in 2003, when the House of Representatives passed a measure to add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare after a contentious debate that resulted in an all-night session, Mr. Broder, then 74, was virtually the only reporter who stayed to the bitter end.
“Then he wrote a tick-tock the next day,” Ms. Schwartz said, using newspaper lingo for the kind of story that describes, minute by minute, the progress of a significant event. “That was David. He believed you had to be there.”
