...scandal rather than the drawn-out drudgery of research into government processes and problems. At The New York Times, the game is total, Machiavellian office politics. Executive editor Abe Rosenthal sits like Jehovah on his throne, flashing thunderbolts from his fingertips at any lower-echelon staffer who incurs his disfavor. Former Crimson president Richard Meislin '75 snagged a Times job right out of college as Rosenthal's copyboy--bottom of the ladder that runs: copyboy-news clerk-reporter trainee-reporter--and rose like a Saturn V. rocket through the ranks.

Kimball's predecessors felt bound by the traditional interpretation of Smith's scriptures. Passages in the Book of Mormon consider dark skin a sign of God's disfavor, and the Book of Abraham specifies that Canaanites (interpreted as Africans) are "cursed as to the priesthood." Indeed, outside dissidents bought a full-page ad in the Salt Lake Tribune last week accusing Kimball of heresy and pointing out that Brigham Young declared that blacks would only get the priesthood after all "other descendants of Adam" had their chance...
