...book provides the necessary antidote to weekly journalism. It's fun to have space for 100,000 words," says Senior Writer Robert Hughes, who is writing about the colonization of Australia by convicts in the 18th century. Correspondent Neil MacNeil turned to history in a recent monograph, The President's Medal, 1789-1977.

The investigation culminated in a nighttime raid of the magazine's offices, where government agents seized piles of documents. Some of these dispatches (plus many others, as John S. Service observes in an excellent monograph on his own published reports) were collected in 1970 under the title, The Amerasia Papers, and this occasion provided Professor Kubek with an opportunity to direct another attack at those men who reported from China during...
