Jody Powell, writing in the Dallas Times Herald, puts the blame for the rise of onion fraud partly on the Carter Administration: "It started in 1977 when we Georgians descended on Washington and were overheard whispering at embassy receptions, state dinners and Cabinet meetings about suppliers, shipments and prospects for the year's crop. This attracted the attention of gossip columnists and other riffraff. Soon Vidalias were appearing on the shelves of the Georgetown Safeway, the supermarket of the elite where you're embarrassed to shop if you're not wearing tennis togs or jodhpurs, depending...

Educated at Harvard and the Vienna University, Denby wrote for the New York Herald Tribune during World War II and went on to become the foremost critic of classical American ballet, reserving his highest praise for the work of Martha Graham, Jerome Robbins and especially George Balanchine...

Now when E.T. attends a media party, asserts Bellows, "we're not there to taste the shrimp." Bellows has made it clear to the staff that he wants to break, not inflate, stories. E.T. closely followed the recent slander trial of Dr. Carl Galloway vs. Sixty Minutes and Dan Rather, telecasting outtakes from unedited CBS interviews.
