...Herald American, for several years now, has had a reputation as Boston's second-class newspaper. It was seen as the more conservative of the city's two papers, the one that played stories more sensationally, and the one whose reporting was generally of a lower quality.

The decision Ryor referred to: for the first time in its 119-year history, the NEA would endorse a presidential candidate. While the nod will not come until after the political conventions, it is virtually certain that it will go to Jimmy Carter...
