Schorr can imagine few cases where a reporter should cooperate with the government and squelch a story in the national interest. "If I were to have information where I could tell that disclosure would kill somebody, then I would run the story but bypass that information," Schorr said, but he added that he had never had to worry about that problem because such "life-or-death" information seldom reaches the press...
...possible-though unlikely-that public pressure could yet squelch Soap, but even if that happens, the networks are not now going to go clean. It can also be argued that sex, like any other reality, deserves a role in TV entertainments that purport to portray contemporary life.

The bill, by ruling out "wasteful or unnecessary duplication of communications lines," would apparently...
Rather than squelch the rumors, Kennedy fueled them by criticizing Carter for being "indefinite and imprecise" on the issues. Kennedy fears that Carter would not work for social and economic programs favored by liberals. Further, at Humphrey's 65th birthday celebration in Minneapolis last week, Kennedy joked about his political ambitions but did not deny them. In fact, he has not changed his mind about not wanting the nomination this year. Said a top Democrat: "He told me that he was just doing what he's doing to help Hubert, and I have no reason to doubt that...
