Five years ago, after the ill-conceived installation of new climatic equipment, Lascaux suffered an outbreak of fungal infection that threatened to destroy in a few years what thousands of millenniums had left largely unscathed. The cave's custodians are still struggling to eradicate this scourge. Since a journalist from French science magazine La Recherche was allowed into the cave three years ago, there has been no independent assessment of how they are faring. As a result, concerns have circulated among prehistorians in France and throughout the world that the rescue operation itself was endangering the cave's delicate...

I ran into all sorts of journalists, and I usually said I was whatever my cover was. But you were not obligated to write back and say, "I ran into X journalist in Damascus, and we were at a cocktail party, and we are going to get together for lunch." It was not something you had to report. Unauthorized contact with a journalist is a new standard...
