Senators drifting into the chamber almost ignored the majority leader's routine request, which was routinely granted.

"I have never asked anyone not to publish anything about me," he said. "But this is a vicious thing." Richard Amberg, publisher of the rival St. Louis Globe-Democrat, accused the Post-Dispatch of "the dirtiest Goddamned piece of journalism I've ever seen in my life." At Washington University, Chancellor Ethan A. H. Shepley calmly acknowledged that he knew all about Prince's record, just as calmly said that the university still meant to name...
