...reporting change. (Each day editors and anchormen wake up, look out over the world's landscape and ask suspiciously, "Who moved?") When more than 100 imprisoned dissidents had been set free, nearly two months after Sakharov's release, a story from Moscow Correspondent Philip Taubman made the front page of the New York Times: SOVIET TURNS A BIG CORNER -- RELEASE OF DISSIDENTS MORE THAN A GESTURE. Taubman found in Sakharov's release not only Gorbachev's desire to soften international opinion but also his need to win over the Soviet intellectuals, a view increasingly held by Kremlinologists.

...lawsuit's allegations, many of which are inaccurate or based on false assumptions, are a shaky foundation on which to base an investigation.

From his vantage point behind the table of the Tower board, Scowcroft noted a disturbing pattern. "I was struck by the number of times that front- page stories on Iran-contra appeared containing only the thinnest and most speculative of new material, just enough to generate a headline and to provide a hook on which to hang a rehash of the same old stories. In this manner the issue seemed to be able to sustain itself as big news, almost regardless of the emergence of new material...
