Editor & Publisher "The only person in the book modeled on a real person is the editor in the book, who is clearly modeled on
Ben Bradlee, aspects of Ben Bradlee -- including his bravery as an editor," says
Leonard Downie Jr., discussing his novel, "The Rules of the Game," with
Joe Strupp. Downie, who stepped down as Post executive editor last Friday, says he doesn't plan to visit the newsroom any time soon. "I want to let the newsroom bond with [new editor
Marcus Brauchli]."
