Alice Mayhew, the celebrated and influential editor of political and historical works whose authors ranged from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to Taylor Branch and Doris Kearns Goodwin, died on Tuesday at age 87.
Simon & Schuster, which she joined in 1971, says that she died peacefully at her home in Manhattan.
Mayhew edited some of the most notable nonfiction books of the past half century, including Woodward and Bernstein's landmark Watergate best-seller All the President's Men," Branch's acclaimed civil rights trilogy and Goodwin's Pulitzer Prize winning No Ordinary Time."
