The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated newspaper in Washington, D.C. It is also one of the city's oldest papers, having been founded in 1877. It is widely considered to be one of the most important newspapers in the United States due to its particular emphasis on national politics, and international affairs, and being a newspaper of record. Even so, the Washington Post has always been defined as a local paper and does not print any editions for the outside region beyond that of the D.C., Maryland, or Virginia editions for daily circulation. The newspaper is published as a broadsheet, with photographs printed both in color as well as in black and white. Weekday printings including the main section, which includes the first page, national, international news, politics, and editorials and opinions, followed by the sections on local news (Metro), sports, business, style (feature writing on pop culture, politics, fine and performing arts, film, fashion, and gossip), and classifieds. The Sunday edition includes the weekday sections as well as several weekly sections Outlook (opinion and editorials), Style & Arts, Sunday Source, Travel, Bookworld, Comics, TV Week, and the Washington Post Magazine. Beyond the newspaper, the Washington Post under its parent company of The Washington Post Company is involved with the Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive and Washingtonpost.com. In 1889, John Phillip Sousa composed on behalf of the newspaper "The Washington Post March", which later became one of the most famous march music pieces. Perhaps the most notable incident in the Post's history was when, in the early 1970s, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein began the media's investigation of Watergate. This contributed greatly to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In later years, its investigative reporting has led to increased review of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

When You Stop Running the Universe
By Tracy Y. Washington
As a single parent you learn quickly how to multi-task. Can anyone relate? You go to work for eight hours, rush home from work to take one child to football practice while the other child has music lessons all the way on the other side of town, and then you try to run errands at the grocery store or post office while the kids are at practice. You still have to make it home in enough time to cook a quick dinner, do homework, get baths AND get ready to do it all over again the next day. You plan EVERYTHING. I learned earl... (read more)
