One of the first female reporters to cover a presidency, Helen Thomas has reported on eight since 1961. She began the tradition of saying, "Thank you, Mr. President" after press conferences, and is behind a host of other milestones: being the first female president of the White House Correspondents Associaton and serving as the only newspaperwoman on the groundbreaking China trip with President Nixon in 1972. Front Row at the White House: My Life and Times is a candid memoir and historical record filled with fascinating observations and anecdotes. | Front Row At The White House by Helen Thomas, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
