Even after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Dr. Sam Sheppard because of the inflammatory press coverage of his trial, most newsmen scorned all suggestions that they abide by any formal set of rules laid down by courts or bar associations to govern crime reporting. Their own good judgment, they insisted almost unanimously, was all that was needed.

...long as I govern, I shall do everything to destroy this pest," Erhard thundered in a recent speech. He did not stop with rhetoric. Calling a Cabinet meeting on the subject, Erhard instructed Interior Minister Paul Lücke to ask regional officials to submit reports on the Gammler menace in their areas. Last week the reports came in. All agreed that West Germany's beatniks are just about as conscientious as any other West German citizens...
