Peter J. Bridge, the Newark News reporter who was jailed earlier this year for refusing to provide grand jury testimony about confidential sources, wrote shortly before his release that he was reminded constantly of a friend's comment. "Remember one thing," his friend had told him, "those are courts of law, not justice. It's up to people like you and me to bring about justice...
...Dave Nelson discourages alumni contributors. "Let them give to the philosophy department," he says. Each year Delaware metes out a mere twelve football scholarships-less than half the 25 allowed by N.C.A.A. rules-and draws more than 95% of its players from within a 150-mile radius of its Newark, Del., campus...
...interim, existing airports could be expanded-though at immense expense. At Newark International, the total bill for expansion was a staggering $400 million, or more than double what it cost to build the field in the first place.

Bridge went to jail last week for an indefinite period because he would not tell a local grand jury the identity of the culprit in a bribery story he had written. Ironically, New Jersey has an immunity statute, but it was narrowly interpreted in the Bridge case. "A person who is not a news reporter," said Bridge, "might wonder why it is so important to maintain the confidentiality of sources. I can testify that confidential sources are the single most important...
