And in 1919, Herbert Bayard Swope passed himself off as a diplomat, outfitted with cutaway coat and chauffeured limousine, to provide a firsthand account of peace-treaty negotiations at Versailles. Last week, as the result of a National Labor Relations Board decision, the concept of what journalists call "enterprising reporting" was subjected to Government review...
