Jewell's lawyers also object to certain sections of the columns written by Dave Kindred for the paper. On Aug. 1, for example, Kindred compared Jewell to Wayne Williams, the Atlanta serial child killer. "Once upon a terrible time, federal agents came to this town to deal with another suspect who lived with his mother. Like this one, that suspect was drawn to the blue lights and sirens of police work. Like this one, he became famous in the aftermath of murder...
...estimated cost of $8.8 million. Even though Life Skills has been tested in 50 New York schools over the decade, police commissioner Howard Safir said he had never heard of it. Meanwhile, Glenn Levant, head of D.A.R.E. America, dismisses his program's negative evaluations: "Just because someone publishes a paper and calls it a study does not really mean anything, particularly when you're dealing with something as subjective as whether prevention works," he says. "Only in America do you get kicked for doing good work...
...people I know read the local newspaper, and I'm continually amazed at how unaware most of these people are of any news, particularly important local news.

If the wall got lowered, it happened then. You also reported that budget trimming at the Inquirer denied reporters access to telephone directory assistance, long-distance calls and funds to travel to New York City to cover stories...
Your reference to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was misleading, and the assertion that our paper "bans front-page stories that jump to another page, which means major news events must be covered in a paltry 150 words or so," is untrue. The Oct. 17 morning edition, for example, carried a 500-word summary of the previous night's Clinton-Dole debate on the front page, but it also carried nine columns of coverage inside. We do not send our readers scrambling to find the "continued" portions of stories inside the paper. Rather, we use our front page as a cover...
