By: Joe Strupp Meg Greenfield, a Washington, D.C. journalistic mainstay who touted humanity but slammed fluff during more than 30 years in the nation's capital, died May 13. She was 68.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and Newsweek columnist, Greenfield passed away at her Washington home after a three-year battle with breast cancer that forced her to stop writing columns in March.
After 11 years with the former Reporter magazine, Greenfield joined The Post in 1968 and became deputy editorial page editor two years later. In 1979, she became editor of that page, a post she held until her death. She started her Newsweek column in 1974.
