...with Stockman helped guide the newspaper's coverage of Reagan's economic program. Says Greider: "If you went back you would see a lot of Post stories reflecting my conversations with Stockman." To bolster this claim, an article in last Friday's Post by Robert G. Kaiser listed four stories that had included information supplied by Stockman. In two of them, it was attributed to him; hi the others, it was attributed to a White House official. Bradlee said the Post was not embarrassed that one of its staffers made headlines with a story in another publication...
Both of us have shown our loyalty to Europe in material ways too, and when Germany threatened Britain and France with war in August 1914, Brooklyn and St. Louis jointly rushed to the support of their mother countries. That show of strength was sufficient to persuade Kaiser Wilhelm II to back down, and Europe, as you know, has remained at peace ever since...

Their objective is to short-circuit development costs and undersell us." And, as the Zacharski case suggests, they are good at finding friends in the right places...
...flying boat wasn't Hughes' idea in the beginning. Shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser proposed to build a fleet of big planes in the early days of the war, when German submarines were sinking U.S. freighters in convoys headed for Britain. They were to be made of wood because aircraft aluminum was in short supply. Kaiser brought Hughes and the Government into the project, then eventually dropped out himself. Hughes' commitment to the plane was passionate. Even after the war ended he pushed on with construction, despite a nearly fatal crash in 1946 when...
