![On June 18, 1971, The Washington Post began publishing its own series of articles based upon the Pentagon Papers;[11] Ellsberg had given portions to The Washington Post reporter and former RAND Corporation colleague Ben Bagdikian in a Boston-area motel earlier that week.[54] Bagdikian flew with the portions to Washington and physically presented them to executive editor Ben Bradlee at the latter's house in the Georgetown neighborhood; Bradlee set up a team of writers, lawyers and editors to hide out in his house and organize the portions.[55] Bagdikian later met with Mike Gravel in front of the Mayflower Hotel on June 26[42] to give him copies.[47][43][44][45][46] On June 18, Assistant U.S. Attorney General William Rehnquist asked The Washington Post to cease publication. After the paper refused, Rehnquist sought an injunction in U.S. district court. Judge Murray Gurfein declined to issue such an injunction, writing that "[t]he security of the Nation is not at the ramparts alone. Security also lies in the value of our free institutions. A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know."[56] The government appealed that decision, and on June 26 the Supreme Court agreed to hear it jointly with The New York Times case.[53] Fifteen other newspapers received copies of the study and began publishing it.[11] According to Ellsberg in 2017 and 2021, 19 newspapers in total eventually drew on the Papers for their investigative work;[57][35] the Post's then-court reporter Sanford J. Ungar wrote in his May 1972 book The Papers and The Papers that aside from the Times and the Post, The Boston Globe and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had also been brought to court by the Nixon administration over coverage of the Papers.](https://i0.wp.com/moviestohistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/The-Washington-Post-Pentagon-Papers.webp?resize=525%2C295&ssl=1)

Thank You, the feedback on my blog is always appreciated! I wasn’t sure if when I started it in 2021, if it was content anyone would be interested in! But, I took the two things I love the most, film and history, and decided I would combine my two Bachelor’s and teach some history in a differnt more enaging way! I really felt that the internet was lacking an interesting way to take in history, and thought, everyone loves film and television, why not meet them on that level, while also showing that there is plenty history to be learned from films and television that adapt those histories! So It pleases me to know that MoviestoHistory.com has an audience! I look forward to you reading more of the excellant content I have planned for the future!
