Actually, Erim had been trying to resign for more than a week; he had agreed to remain on the job only to handle the Podgorny visit. Whatever fatigue he felt was caused by his unsuccessful efforts to deal with an obstructionist Parliament that refused to approve his tax-and land-reform measures and sought to prevent him from using the alternative-ruling by decree...
...night by some of the speakers--is to be seduced by the exaggerations of the moment. Both are, in certain vital respects, unresponsive, but the two can not be convicted of identical crimes. If that is the assumption on which this hydra-headed strike proceeds we may as well resign ourselves to playing the game this Spring and next Spring and --who knows?--maybe even the Spring after that...

A team working for the Long Island paper Newsday counts 21 indictments, seven convictions and 30 resignations of public officials and businessmen as a result of its stories. Other journalistic sleuths have won national recognition for local digging; in the past four years, exposes of harbor-commission bribery...
