...Niemans did not intend to pay Kissinger tribute they should have placed him in an adversary relationship where representatives of the other sides could have helped bring out the truth. The Nieman Foundation was set up to "elevate and promote the standards of journalism." We hope that such an ideal, rather than an eclectic affection for power, guides the foundation's future...
...Augusta National Golf Club and for 43 years chairman of its prestigious Masters Tournaments; by his own hand (gunshot); in Augusta, Ga. A New York City investment banker and ardent amateur golfer, Roberts teamed up with Grand Slam Champion Bobby Jones to help launch the latter's "ideal" golf club in 1930.

Yet we are too conscious that he is a self-aware villain, scoring stunning acting points without carrying complete emotional conviction. And Stefan Gierasch's Orgon is not quite the ideal foil. He seems more like an exacerbated paterfamilias who wants Tartuffe to cow his recalcitrant brood rather than a breathless gull hopelessly infatuated by a bogus saint...
