Much of the bloody detail of My Lai had already been revealed either during the courts-martial or by newsmen, notably Seymour M. Hersh, a reporter for the New York Times.

Robert J. Seymour, executive editor of the Harrisburg Patriot (circ. 47,866) and Evening News (circ. 71,893), defended the decision: "We felt our readers would best be served by a full and complete story at the end rather than by whatever bits and pieces we could have picked up at the time." Many of his colleagues disagree sharply. Jim Snavely, a reporter for the Daily Record (circ. 36,001) and president of the Newspaper Guild local, is asking his membership for a resolution condemning the blackout. Daily Record Managing Editor Eli F. Sliver, one of those present when...

...Died. Seymour E. Harris, 77, economist and adviser to Presidents; in San Diego. Harris spent more than 40 years at Harvard, where, with Paul Samuelson, J.K. Galbraith and others, he became an early advocate of then controversial Keynesian economics. As adviser to Candidate Adlai Stevenson and Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, Harris acted on his belief that economists should grapple with public issues.
