...axis is hardly unanimous. During much of the Viet Nam War, there were significant editorial differences. In 1972 the Times supported George McGovern while Time Inc. endorsed Nixon. Among Times columnists last year, Tom Wicker and Anthony Lewis were more critical of Spiro Agnew than their colleague James Reston was. Further, the liberals?however that term is defined?hardly have a news monopoly, even in New York and Washington. U.S. News & World Report generally takes a conservative line, and the Washington Star-News is to the Post's right. New York is the editorial home of the Wall Street Journal...
...reporters in an otherwise hostile Administration. Yet sometimes a Kissinger briefing edges closer to what is known in White House parlance as "stroking."

Though they shopped around, 20 attorneys all said they would not do the necessary title search for less than the prescribed minimum of approximately 1% of the purchase price, despite the fact that the builder had done a title search of his own and the new work was a simple matter of updating. The Goldfarbs reluctantly paid, but they also brought suit in Federal District Court on grounds of price fixing. They...
...Krock moved aside as the Times's bureau chief. Though he was then 67, he admitted that he had "planned this move for a much later time." But he did it so that James Reston could move into the chiefs job instead of taking one of the several high posts offered to him by competitors. Krock continued writing his column until he retired from the Times in 1966. He turned out three books of memoirs, but even in them, he allowed little of his personal life to intrude...
