AlbanyHarry Rosenfeld can still taste those double martini and red meat power lunches he had at Duke Zeibert's in the early 1970s with Ben Bradlee, the ebullient and legendary editor of the Washington Post.It was the golden era of newspapers and a time of carte blanche expense accounts.The sun never set on Bradlee, who died Tuesday at 93, and Rosenfeld still detected a bit of a sunburn from working for him for a dozen years four decades ago.Rosenfeld described the cult of personality that surrounded the dashing newspaperman and Boston Brahmin who hired Rosenfeld in 1966 and alongside whom Rosenfeld helped direct the Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning Watergate coverage as metro editor."When Ben didn't have somebody to go to lunch with, I was fortunate that he sometimes picked me out of the newsroom," recalled Rosenfeld, 85, of Albany, editor-at-large of the Times Union.
