Christopher Lydon, a reporter for the New York Times given to flamboyant dress, was knocked down by Robert Novak, a columnist and partner of Rowland Evans. Novak had gotten into a closed-to-the-press labor caucus. When Lydon tried to follow him he was told to leave. Lydon complained that if other reporters could go in, so could he. As a result Novak was identified as a reporter and thrown out. Novak in his anger yelled, "If you ever do that again I'll knock your block...
