...counselors. For more than two months last winter, Phillips and friends spent 16-hour days in Beijing helping craft key documents. When the International Olympic Committee sent an evaluation crew to grill the committee, Phillips and his team suggested answers the Chinese might have muffed, such as making them omit the usual "evil-cult" epithet from comments on the underground Falun Gong spiritual movement.

Advocates of media collaboration with the government like to point to the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the major news media held back reports that might have affected negotiations. They conveniently omit, of course, that if the media hadn't shown the same deference when they knew the Bay of Pigs invasion was coming, they might have averted that fiasco and helped the U.S.-Cuba-USSR relationship that eventually led up to the missile crisis.
