...conglomerate is just too predictably bull-headed, so intent on lancing any threats to its authority that journalistic quality ceases to matter. On the other hand, the idyllic days of hard-nosed investigative reporting, exposes and journalism prizes emerge in vague, rosy-colored hues through the sheen of memory. Sitting in bed after a bout of adultery with Harry, Laura rummages through a sheaf of old photographs and reminisces fondly: "Remember when we used to do everything ourselves?
