...years later, Kunene, editor and political columnist for the Durban newspaper Ilanga, has become the second. Kunene has worked as a journalist for 20 years, writing for English newspapers in South Africa as well as covering political developments for Ilanga, a Zululanguage paper...
Bernstein's article names few names. One who was singled out, Times Columnist C.L. Sulzberger, denies that he actively aided the CIA, but Columnist Joseph Alsop admitted to Bernstein that he occasionally spooked for the agency before his retirement in 1974: "I'm proud they asked me and proud to have done it.

His relentless scrutiny of Lance's loans and insinuations about possible conflict of interests prompted Senator Abraham Ribicoff to complain on July 25 that Lance was being "smeared from one end of the country to the other," a complaint that Ribicoff later retracted. The Times tried to catch up with Safire, but produced a stream of speculative, melodramatic stories. On Aug. 15, for instance, the Times described...
