Graham handed over the control of the Post to her son in 1991, when she was 74 years old. By that time, she was often being described as the most powerful woman in America.

1991年，葛拉罕74歲時(shí)，將掌管郵報(bào)的權(quán)力移交給了她的兒子。那時(shí)，她常被形容為美國最有影響的女人。無論這種說法是否正確，相信多數(shù)人都會(huì)認(rèn)同她眾多仰慕者之一給予的評(píng)價(jià)：沒有她，華盛頓“就會(huì)是遠(yuǎn)不如現(xiàn)在文明的地方”。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：報(bào)業(yè)女巨人的一生)
