Leaky Pipeline. Indeed, Hearst's serial paid less tribute to the enterprise of journalism than to the astonishing porosity of the supposedly secret Warren Commission's report. In the wake of publication, the commission's chief counsel, J.

Cynics point out that serial polygamy was a fact even in Puritan times, when men had three or four wives because women were apt to die young; nowadays, divorce rather than death provides variety...
