KENNEDY'S VENDETTA screamed the headline of a biting front-page editorial in the Herald. "Was it something I said, Fat Boy?" asked Herald Columnist Howie Carr. IT'S WAR ON POST BUSTERS, added the Post. Underscoring the gravity of the controversy, Murdoch suspended his usual practice of shunning the limelight and went on Cable News Network's Crossfire program to make his case personally. "We're keeping the Boston Herald in spite of Senator Kennedy," he said, vowing that he would sell his small Boston TV station if necessary. Murdoch is not, however, willing to give...
Waldheim's defenders launched a vigorous campaign this month to clear his name finally. Their heaviest ammunition was a 299-page "white book" prepared on Waldheim's behalf by Foreign Ministry officials. Titled Kurt Waldheim's Wartime Years: A Documentation, the work asserts that all charges against him have been proved false. It repeats claims that Waldheim had no involvement in atrocities committed by German army units to which he was assigned between 1942 and 1944. The troops carried out brutal reprisals against Yugoslav resistance fighters and deported Greek Jews to Nazi death camps. The book further asserts that Waldheim...
That defense was undermined last week when a story in the Washington Post (reprinted on Page One of the Des Moines Register) challenged the plausibility of Bush's denials. There were no dramatic revelations, just an elaboration of the circumstantial evidence that Bush was at too many meetings not to have sensed what was really happening. The fire storm caught Bush's top aides by surprise. "He's saying the same things Reagan said," argued one adviser. "Why shouldn't people believe...
...very first page of this very long novel about Ireland contains a reference to an unspecified night in June 1904, when "Patrick Prentiss came for the first time to Kilpeder and booked a room at the Arms." The time may be of little consequence to most readers, but some will not be able to ignore that, by coincidence or design, the author begins his plunge into Irish history with a suggestion of the most famous date in modern literature. That would be Bloomsday (June 16, 1904), the day of James Joyce's Ulysses...
Most notable, though, has been its conservative editorial stands and willingness to take on politicians under its masthead. The Herald's list of past barbs against Kennedy filled a full page in yesterday's edition. The paper probably earned his special notice when it pointed out his "pretensions and blunders" during a illconsidered and over-hyped visit to South Africa before his 1980 presidential bid. The Globe was noticably quiet...
