...Robert Hockney, hotshot editor of the Berkeley Barb during the student uprisings of the late'60s, prize-winning Vietnam reporter and the first journalist to rip the veil off the CIA, and (naturally) handsome stud, wends his way from New York to Paris to Humburg to London and then back to Washington in search of the elusive "truth." As the authors tiresomely tell us, he faces a most disquieting question: Were all his earlier journalistic tours de force fed to him indirectly by the Russkies? Was his CIA expose planted by Soviet spies? Was his much-heralded interview with...

He decides at graduation that he wants to do investigative work, and with a minimum of effort becomes a renowned journalist. He is extraordinarily difficult to identify with, because we get little more than fleeting glimpses at what makes him tick. What could be a complex...
...they decide not to print--for different reasons, including when they do not sympathize with its politics. It implies bias by omission, and calls into question the meaning of "objectivity" in journalism. The two celebrated writers who wrote the book have a straightforward answer: Objectivity doesn't exist. When Hockney first discovers the Soviets may be influencing the American media, his editors shelve the story. In the authors' bipolar world, if you're not with us, you're against...
...while American museums, foundations and dealers have flooded Europe with every kind of U.S. "product" from abstract expressionism to photorealism. No market, no museum shows: few American museums in recent years have given any hint that England has sculptors younger than Anthony Caro, or painters less celebrated than David Hockney. Thus the Guggenheim Museum's current show, "British Art Now," is doubly interesting. Chosen by the museum's curator of exhibitions, Diane Waldman, it consists of work by eight artists, a sample with no pretensions to being a definitive list but the first good one to be seen...
