...island off-limits to the American press, carting reporters off by plane when necessary and limiting their visits to short planned trips with military escorts. Photos of the island have been released only selectively. Secretary of State George P. Shultz dubbed reporters on the island illegally as "liars". Newsweek actually dismissed one of its reporters who broke the government-imposed rules and disappeared from the escort. The Senate was forced, and rightly so, to declare late last week that "restrictions imposed upon the press in Grenada shall cease..." in a rider that passed 53-18, the Senate is now planning...
...mileage out of the movie, whose release was timed perfectly to reach the voters before the seven-way battle for the Democratic title begins. Although the producers protest coincidence, their work has given the Ohio Senator what none of his competitors has gotten-cover spots on Newsweek and Time, and, in general, beyond that nation's news pages...

I see no such noble restraint in dealing with West Germany's imperfections on the part of most U.S. newspapers...
...Bradlee, now the executive editor of the Washington Post, had been a Georgetown neighbor and particular chum of Kennedy's. Working then for Newsweek, he would sometimes be asked by his editors to find out for competitive reasons whose face would be on the cover of TIME the following week. Bradlee would ask the President, who would find out and call back. Bradlee got one exclusive story about Kennedy's past personal life, involving a false report of an earlier J.F.K. marriage, when the President agreed to let Bradlee secretly examine for 24 hours all the FBI files...
