Having only access to the basic outline of the events she purported to describe Newmyer chose to compensate what her article lacked in substance with defamatory sensationalism: "at one point last spring, a flash-flood of resignation offers almost washed the Advocate away." Since Newmyer herself writes in the article's postscript that everybody privy to the Advocate Executive Board's proceedings last spring declined to comment it is hard to see how Newmyer is justified in fabricating fictitious renditions of those proceedings based on the bogus authority of "sources", "observers" and "veteran Advocate editors."

For Essrog the decision was a no-brainer. At St. Vincent's Home for Boys he was choking on a flood of words and impulses in need of release.

Even less appreciated is the Federal Government's role as the sole underwriter of flood insurance since 1969. Almost any agent can offer the coverage on behalf of the government, but the agent...
...count on your agent (though that's the best place to inquire first). Unless you live on a hill in a desert, you probably should have flood coverage. The cost varies widely, based on an intricate zoning system, but the average flood policy in force goes for $341 a year for $119,254 of coverage, according to the National Flood Insurance Program. All business and property owners are eligible unless their community is among the 8% nationwide that do not comply with federal guidelines on construction in high-risk zones. To find out if your community complies...
