Newspaper editors have a fear that they aren't admired enough. John Hughes, who retired this month as editor of the Christian Science Monitor and last month completed a term as president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, warned his colleagues in a farewell address that "our profession . . . isn't currently in high repute. The polls indicate that our credibility with the public is lower than that of many other professions." There are three things wrong with that statement. Newspaper editing isn't a profession, its public standing is about as high as it ever...
...evidently something was not strong enough. In the evening, after the visiting architects had left the arena, a tremendous rainstorm hit the city, dumping 4 in. of rain in 30 minutes. Shortly after it began, Arthur LaMaster, the supervisor on duty in the deserted building, noticed water pouring down two sides of the $250,000 Scoreboard, which was suspended from the center of the ceiling.

The court found that it was not, noting that male nonveterans suffered...

Ehrlichman dwells too much on describing the furnishings of the capital's most notable drawing rooms, apparently in search of credentials as a serious novelist. Yet he knows Washington intimately enough to lure the reader along, even into that "double bed" above the Attorney General's office, which had been "the historic scene of demanding if unofficial activities of Smythe's predecessors, their high-ranking brothers and sundry surrogates." Yes, the rumored past meshes readily with the fictional future as Ehrlichman...
