...press agent, a nobody, and Walter Winchell was the most powerful newspaperman in America. The veiled fiction about the columnist didn't seem to ruffle him. "I don't fool with the Ernest Lehmans of the world," Winchell supposedly said. "I go after the Westbrook Peglers [a right-wing journalist]." Five years later, Lehman was a big-shot screenwriter ("Executive Suite," "Sabrina") and reluctant to have the romanette-a-clef turned into a movie. But the indie-prod outfit Hecht-Lancaster was a comer - "Trapeze," with Burt Lancaster and Curtis, had hit it big, and "Marty" would...
...claimed the lives of four Australians, six Britons, two Dutch, one Irish, one Japanese and a South Korean. DIED. Raffaele Ciriello, 42, veteran Italian war photographer, after being shot six times in the abdomen and chest, apparently by Israeli troops while in the West Bank, becoming the first foreign journalist killed there since Israeli-Palestinian fighting broke out in Sept. 2000; in Ramallah.

Ask the young roomful, instead, whether they would be willing to risk their lives to cover extreme situations in faraway places and report the truth, and the best in the room will get a gleam in their...
...also dangerous work. Eight journalists have died in Afghanistan since September. A total of 37 were killed last year, 24 the year before. Journalists are sometimes naive about their own safety, prone to an illusion that they are either bulletproof or invisible. In the mid-'60s, I walked blithely through the mobs during a riot in Harlem, with Molotov cocktails sailing off the roofs of apartment houses. I imagined that as a journalist, I was merely an invisible witness, as harmless as a recording secretary, as if I had letters of transit allowing me to pass between cops and rioters...
