“To her readers,” said NEWSWEEK Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Richard M. Smith, “she was an incomparable guide to the mysterious ways of Washington and our national political life. To many of us at NEWSWEEK, she was simply a wise, warm, witty and wonderful friend.” In Washington, Greenfield was a special presence. Her gift for fun and friendship, mingled with a supreme talent for conversation, helped lubricate the sandy gears of the capital with a civility that it has increasingly lacked. She will be deeply missed.
