...Washington's press corps was roundly scooped. The Miami Spanish-language paper Diario Las Americas published the story first on Sunday, but was ignored. Next day, apparently from other sources, London's Financial Times carried the news, and in Tulsa, Okla., station KRMG got its own report from Washington Correspondent Malvina Stephenson, who was tipped by House Majority Leader Carl Albert.
