As TIME's Thomas Griffith once put it, he modulated the page's "Ugh, Big Chief Has Spoken" voice, leavening its ponderous eminence with impish wit ("Helsinki, Schmelsinki," proclaimed a skeptical editorial on the 1975 human-rights accords).

And Griffith could never shake the ghastly image of Paret slumped in his corner.
