Liberal by Moonlight. Though clearly one of U.S. journalism's loudest thunderers on the right, Maury is soft-spoken and amiable away from a typewriter. He never discusses his views outside his office, he says, because "it's so easy to work up ill feelings arguing about politics, religion or the war." In fact, he spends only about 15 minutes a day discussing proposed editorials with his News colleagues, most notably Executive Editor Floyd Barger.
