After a 1975 suicide at Little Greystone, the innovative San Francisco public television station KQED sent a reporter and a cameraman to film conditions there. County Sheriff Thomas Houchins turned them away. But after the station sued to gain entry, Houchins announced a program of regular monthly prison tours open to the public, including reporters. There were a few catches: no cameras, no tape recorders, no interviews with inmates and no access at all to the Little Greystone building.

...Island for a week, but when his boss was at Camp David, he played tennis on the White House court in the middle of the afternoon. Returning to his office, he sat down at his desk in his tennis gear. He buzzed for the White House photographer. When the cameraman arrived, Brzezinski shouldered his tennis racquet and asked that a portrait be made of this extraordinary moment in the life of a presidential aide...
