Judy Miller's Wisconsin connections

At the risk of turning this into a gossip column, this long profile in the Washington Post on Judy Miller (formerly of the New York Times) contains a couple of Wisconsin-related items of which I was unaware:

Ms. Miller started her journalism career in 1973 as the Washington correspondent for the Madison-based Progressive magazine, before being hired by the Times.

The other item is that her "romantic affairs with public officials," which some considered questionable behavior for a journalist, included living with the late Les Aspin, the Wisconsin Congressman who became Secretary of Defense. "Their relationship was well known. They used to entertain friends together," reporter Lynne Duke says.

If you haven't had enough of Judy to last you a long time, Duke's profile is a good read.
