...additional reporting, not even to check how much of what Ford revealed was new. Nonetheless, contended Navasky, "What we did was a journalistic coup, and perfectly legal."

...anatomy of a Post hatchet job can be studied profitably in the paper's recent treatment of Willie Morris, who as editor of Harper's magazine in the 1960s demolition, invited in the New Journalists. To make a target worthy of demolition, first praise him. Reporter James Conaway speaks of Morris' "extraordinary autobiography, North Toward Home," and of his editorship that "many people think was Harper's finest time." But that was years ago; Conaway now finds Morris living in Oxford, Miss., the home town of William Faulkner. At 48, Morris is "drinking bourbon...
