have read: front row at the white house

kilala ko si helen thomas from marlin fitzwater's book call the briefing. friends yata sila. bukod sa nasa backcover ang picture ni helen thomas prying on the windows of fitzwater, marami rin siyang mention sa book. basta si helen thomas is known as the grand dame of white house reporters. eh san ka ba naman nakakita, nandun na siya panahon pa lang ni jackie o all the way to dubya. o di ba? thts like 50 years ganun? pero maganda ang story nitong si helen kasi immigrant yung parents niya, i think lebanese sila. and yun dad niya was really masipag and believed in education, she went to college and worked nung hindi pa fashionable ang magwork ang mga babae. maganda din ang love story nila ng husband niyang si doug. kasi magkasama sila sa work for the longest time until si doug got divorced and then basta four years na siyang divorced, when they found themselves falling in love ganun. tas different personalities kasi si doug was this tahimik guy and of course si helen is like ggrrrr, always prowling on presidents. so yun. andami ding chismis dito. my god. eh fifty years ba naman sa white house e. so yun, this makes an interesting read especially on mga presidents, first ladies ganun.
