...suggestions: first, most factual errors do seem to occur in the front-page daily stories. The features are uniformly better edited and less problematic. Surely, it cannot be that difficult to ensure that at least one editor from every beat is on duty on any given night. Then the daily stories, too, could be edited by someone who knows something about the subject matter. It would also ensure a modicum of consistency in editorial policy. Secondly, confirming quotations should be made a blanket policy in all cases. If extending this courtesy in 50 percent more cases would cut down...
...this time prosecutors expect to get a jury untainted by Klan influence. Three jurors from Bowers' 1968 trial said afterward that during deliberations, all the jurors agreed that he was guilty, yet one kept voting "not guilty" in the secret ballots that decide the verdict.

Doubtless Redford believes in the ideals that animate this movie--as who among us does not? But the very fact that he is so well known and widely applauded for his many good, politically and artistically correct works offscreen helps make the movie seem self-regarding, self-righteous, even smug. There was once something of the wicked kid in Redford's screen character, and one fondly imagined that he would someday grow up to be, if not a dirty old man, then a subversive and obstreperous one. Certainly we never guessed he'd end up a rustic bore like...
