...organizations have been reporting from the pre-election trail with some consistency for nearly a year, and by last week the entourages of journalists far outnumbered the candidates and their traveling staffs. News personnel aboard the bus (or plane or van) can enjoy intimacy with a potential President: John Glenn, for example, has led a group sing-along of gospel and folk tunes, and shakes hands with the regulars at the end of a swing. But at every stop, the journalists are faced with a candidate's standard speech, the same jokes, the same badinage, and must...
...made some effort this year to report the campaign in a broader context and to lessen the sort of fragmentary coverage you get when your only reporting is from each individual candidate." CBS Correspondents Susan Spencer and Lem Tucker have been encouraged to step back from the Mondale and Glenn buses to work on "big picture" stories.

...sure, the issue was never one of total suppression, since both court records and the paperbound publications remained readily available. Still, the Government did end up having second thoughts. Tax Division Chief Glenn Archer's signature was on the censorship petition, and at first he defended it to reporters. But after the storm of criticism, the department contended Archer had not known what his assistants were asking for. "This doesn't represent the policy of the Justice Department," said Deputy Attorney General Edward Schmults. "It was a mistake, and it won't happen again...
