...from the FBI-draw guidelines for the investigation of subversives, rather than leaving the matter open to FBI interpretation. Why was Senator Edmund Muskie's name mentioned in an FBI report on a 1970 Earth Day rally, for example? Agents were assigned to the rally to keep an eye on Rennie Davis, who was then awaiting trial in the Chicago conspiracy case, but including Muskie's name in the report created at least an impression of indiscriminate dragnet surveillance. Strict guidelines might also provide that any extraneous information be deleted from agents' reports before they achieve...

But after Ceauşescu and Mrs. Meir talked twice for a total of nine hours, aides strove to convey the impression that there was less to the meetings than met the eye.

Even before the latest Pulitzers were announced, criticism of another sort came from John McCormally, editor of the Burlington, Iowa, Hawk-Eye and himself a 1965 prizewinner and former juror. In the current issue of the journalism review [More], McCormally argues for a more venturesome attitude on the prize givers' part. As a Pulitzer juror last year, he complains he was expected to scrutinize 134 entries within nine hours. McCormally claims that such a system "allows for some pretty good journalism to get lost."
