...Though the Israelis have neither killed nor left Arabs homeless in the punitive actions, their decision to adopt the practice brought condemnation from the United Nations General Assembly's Social Committee. A resolution urging the Israelis to desist was passed 51 to 11, with fifty countries abstaining, among them the U.S., Britain and France. In a vicious blast, the Soviets likened the Israelis to Nazi Germany...
Jefferson, Jackson. At one point Agnew declared: "The day when [newsmen] enjoyed a form of diplomatic immunity from comment and criticism of what they said is over." But as James Reston asked in his New York Times column the next morning, when did that day ever dawn? Among some famous old snipes at the press noted by Reston: Thomas Jefferson writing in 1803 that "even the least informed of the people have learnt that nothing in a newspaper is to be believed"; and Andrew Jackson strafing in 1837 some editors "who appear to fatten on slandering their neighbors and hire...
Bold, not Bland. In television it can be argued that far from being too opinionated, news is not opinionated and hard-hitting enough.

Its special quality is that it is an Oedipal farce, zany, effervescently comic and full of as many crazy laughs as a clock has ticks...
...excused the standards as "merely a rephrasing of the old rules." In point of fact, only three journalists, have had their Vatican credentials lifted in the past 18 years-and only one lost his permanently. Vatican press briefings, moreover, have increased and improved (TIME, Oct. 31). Yet some officials-among them Deputy Secretary of State Archbishop Giovanni Benelli-apparently felt the need to protect themselves against misinterpretation. Explained a Vatican insider: "Journalists today try to write like theologians, getting involved in highly controversial doctrinal matters. Any journalist who behaves irresponsibly in doing this kind of reporting can damage the religious...
