...then, are nearly all of Afghanistan 's provinces outside Kabul effectively ruled by tribal leaders and warlords? Philip K. Lentz Amman, Jordan Sharing Journalists' Notes I strongly disagree with the decision made by Norman Pearlstine, Time Inc.'s editor-in-chief, to comply with a federal grand jury's subpoena and surrender the notes and files of White House correspondent Matthew Cooper [July 18].

Time Inc. had appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court, but when the court declined last week to hear...
Will Time Inc.'s actions alter the rules of journalism? Some think so. "This is going to be open season on journalists," says Dalglish. "Litigators are out there thinking, Why not subpoena them?
