...many young newsmen, the passing of the old guard is not cause for fond goodbyes but bitter good riddances. They represented, says one young Tribune staffer, the "tired old practice of letting the status quo define what the news is."

Explains Emmett Dedmon, editorial director of Field Enterprises, which owns the Daily News and the Sun-Times: "This is the era of the young, socially aware reporter. We allow them more freedom today...
Burger was plainly out to build some good will for the Supreme Court among the 135,000 members of an organization that one lawyer described as "middleaged, middle class and middle of the road."
