...Beltway reporting." Lauer asked Drudge about his story. Drudge said Tripp "has told this to investigators." Asked if he had confirmation, Drudge responded, "Not outside of what I've just heard, but I don't think anybody does at this point." The Today show had just given NBC News' imprimatur and a national platform to Drudge to report on the President. "I wouldn't call what he does reporting," objects University of Virginia professor and media critic Larry Sabato.

...King James Version, thanks to its felicities of language and the imprimatur of the Church of England, ruled supreme and largely unchallenged among English-speaking Christians for about 350 years. Chapman's Homer, a redaction of the secular words of a pagan bard, naturally received no such binding spiritual and temporal authorization. But Chapman's translations were both thrilling enough--see Keats' sonnet On First Looking into Chapman's Homer--and challenging enough to provoke competing versions. Since Chapman, nearly four centuries' worth of British and, later, American writers have taken on Homer...
