...cite ethical lapses in officials in government, finance, religion and the military. You point a finger at businessmen, educators, physicians, lawyers and almost every other segment of our society except publishers and editors. If you spent time researching your own profession, you would surely find an equivalent or even larger portion of it involved in the same activities you condemn in other fields...

As Harry might say, Uggghhh! Director and Co-Author William Dear, who helmed a funny segment of Spielberg's Amazing Stories, here apes his mentor and libels him.

Barrett. The final segment of the section was written by Senior Writer Ezra Bowen, who acknowledges an intense, longtime interest in ethics. Bowen is a 1949 graduate of Amherst College, where he studied history and philosophy (and starred at first base on the baseball team). His belief in ethical obligations underlay a major part of a commencement address he delivered earlier this month at Texas Lutheran...
