Investigative reporter??Jack Anderson made a 50-year career of annoying officialdom. President Nixon put him near the top of his enemies list, prompting a wry and very Andersonian response: "Maybe it was alphabetical." With characteristic restraint, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the columnist was "lower than the regurgitated filth of vultures." But Anderson has now performed a feat of Mau-Mauing perhaps unique among all muckrakers: he is irritating the government from the grave. You see, Anderson died four months...

"They feel," said...
...revolution" at Vienna was reported suddenly quelled, with only a few score civilians shot down by government troops, some of the Post's readers supposed that this meant the super-reporting of Novelist Lewis would not come off. Others were more hopeful, remembering that Mr. Lewis had been a reporter???in New Haven, Conn., in San Francisco, and hither and yon for the Associated Press?before ever he sold a novel; and that even now his literary technique is regarded by critics simply as superlative journalese. They fancied Sinclair Lewis could do as much with the aftermath of a brief...
