Editors have an occupational weakness for striking holier-than-thou attitudes, especially on the subject of newspaper ethics. Last week the subject got a refreshingly candid airing from Jenkin Lloyd Jones, 46, editor of the Jones family's Tulsa Tribune and recently president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. In a lecture at the University of Kansas, where he won the first certificate of editorial leadership awarded by the William Allen White Foundation, Jones said: "We often tell our readers only half-truths. We are constantly sweeping facts under the rugs...

...cheering throng of Turkish Cypriots streamed through Nicosia's ancient walled Turkish quarter one morning last week. They were celebrating a report from Ankara, where Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd was conferring with Turkey's Premier Menderes and Cyprus Governor Sir Hugh Foot, that Britain had accepted partition of Cyprus (between Greeks and Turks) as a solution for the island's troubles.
