Columnist Ruth Marcus , who has worked at The Washington Post for 40 years , leaves the paper.

She says the paper's publisher declined to run her column critical of Jeff Bezos' new editorial policy.

Marcus' resignation is the latest fallout from the billionaire owner's directive that the Post narrows its opinion section to personal liberties and the free market.
