Good Morning! Sometime during your four years you will come up against this show, and now is the most painless time to do it. The hosts, John Willis and Janet Langhart are two facile, smiling zombies and perhaps their interview with Seymour Hersh, who reveals such people in the government, will reveal more about them. Ch. 5, 9 a.m. 1 hour...
...mayor's belated conversion did not end all opposition to the plan, especially from liberal Democrats.

Times editors last week were standing by their decision, but the episode underlined the hazards of giving and taking off-the-record information...
Ridiculous it may be, but journalists often find it essential to let their sources say things privately that they would never say otherwise. Some of these sources may try to entomb sensitive information by using the off-the-record stratagem, but the presidential luncheon episode seems to prove, as Seymour Hersh says, that such things do have a way of getting...
