...sent unsolicited by an author who called himself Erik Demos. Demos is the nom de hoax chosen by Chuck Ross, a Los Angeles freelance writer out to prove what thousands of aspiring first novelists already know: it is virtually impossible for an unknown author to break into print through the U.S. mails with what is known in the trade as an "over the transom" manuscript. One of the extremely rare exceptions to the rule was Judith Guest's Ordinary People...
Mitch disemboweling a culprit in print is a sight only brave readers should witness. "Some of the stuff we have to read causes cramps and vertigo," he mutters, warming himself up to a fine frenzy over "the works of Scriblerus X. Machina," as he dubs the bulletins from the chairman of the college's communications department, or perhaps the "feats of Clay," as he cruelly pun-points the communiqués of one Glassboro dean. "A detailed analysis," he worries out loud, "might well cause irreversible brain damage." But he risks it. One writer's offenses against...
...leases on some of the city's 5,000 suitable hotel rooms. If necessary, quips CBS News President Richard S. Salant, "we'll put our correspondents up in a tent."

Now, he adds, "we can get out with the breaking news, then go back and do some interpretation...
...part of the state's ruling establishment. Don Bolles gave the conservative newspaper a national reputation for muckraking it largely did not deserve, and it came as no surprise to those who live there when Arizona's only state-wide newspaper, with its stranglehold on public opinion, refused to print the IRE series brought about the murder of its own reporter. An editorial by the PhoenixGazette, owned by the same family that runs the Republic, expressed the live-and-let-live sentiments of most of Arizona's establishment about the state's reputation for organized crime: "A look...
