...called Nixon's the most corrupt Administration since Warren Harding, he now called it "the most corrupt in the history of the U.S." The evidence, said McGovern, was everywhere-in the Russian wheat deal, in the President's $10 million in secret campaign contributions, in the ITT affair and the Watergate bugging. Then he broadened his definition to include the war in Viet Nam, which he said "corrupts our principles." Nixon's Supreme Court nominations, he went on, corrupt the Constitution and were "the worst Supreme Court appointments in history." Watching it all, James Reston...
...series of revelations has been remarkable.

Or more recently, The Times would be compelled to name before a grand jury every source--many of whom would be incriminated--for its series detailing graft in the New York City construction business totalling over $25 million annually. The City of New York either could not, or did not bother to, uncover the scandal. The Times did. But had those men who supplied The Times...
