He's not going to behave that way in work he does for us, and we're not going to print anything got that way." Scheer says: "I accept the rules, I accept the restraints." He does not think he has been co-opted, even if the Times job did enable him at the age of 40 to buy the first real bed he has ever owned. He happily...
