Sacred Cows. By trying so diligently to be objective, said King, U.S. newspapers fail to "reflect the vitality of life in the American city, which is so striking to the British newspaperman. No New York paper communicates the salt tang of life, the wit of New York, its physical and intellectual energy, its cynicism and idealism, its pursuit of profit and of scholarship...
...County grand jury. Each time, the jury has shown little interest in finding out about criminal matters that the newsmen have reported. Instead, it has investigated the journalists themselves-their private habits as well as their professional performances. The objective is obviously harassment.

Indeed newsmen take very cautious effort not to translate directly into Japanese the word "enemy" which appears so often in American news agency dispatches about the Viet Cong. A trivial thing it might seem...
