Editors Greenfield and Bradlee of the Washington Post [May 10] are guilty of hypocrisy. Editors decry publicists as flacks, yet scream when information isn't available.

Only when newspapers build up their reporting staffs so that they can do the job alone will the need for the professional public relations person go away...
...Director, that it won't even be difficult to skirt the spirit of the Constitution once the public is sufficiently whipped into a "homosexual scare."

The Humungus malevolence courses through his huge pectorals, pulses visibly under his bald, sutured scalp. He is the meanest, strongest...
...players grin eerily out into space. Sometimes they beat the walls with sticks. Sometimes, they pick a victim and surround him, chanting. When they get really upset, they take off their clothes. And as punked-out zombies scream from the stage, alternately mocking and seducing the audience, our exclusion becomes part of the thrill...
