Departing in family's footsteps
By Peter Brownfeld | March 27, 2000During my first 18 years growing up, I heard a lot about newspaper writing from my parents. Just as I have argued on the pages of this newspaper, my father fought his political battles in college on the editorial pages of William & Mary's Flat Hat. He fought communism and segregation in his columns -- topics that make issues like student self-governance and fraternity rush seem insignificant. Several years later he met my mother while they were both writing for a newspaper on Capitol Hill.
