...York Time ex-vice-president who's sometimes regarded as a disciple of Lippmann, carries Lippmann's concern for presidents and other policymaking officials and comparative lack of concern for his ostensible job, reporting news to the public, further than Lippmann--for example, it led him to suppress the news of the American invasion of Cuba. So it's not surprising that Reston followed Rovere in praising Lippmann's detachment from the very daily life which journalists are supposed to write about. Lippmann "merely used the news of the day to illustrate his philosophy of the age," Reston explained...
...corps was bitterly divided last week over coverage-or non-coverage-of the trial. Despite the absence of a court order, the town's two dailies, two papers in nearby Harrisburg that share a bureau in York, and seven radio and television stations in the area agreed to suppress all news of the trial until its conclusion. They also failed to report that they were participating in the highly unusual blackout. Reporters were present in the courtroom and took notes, but not a word about the case was printed or broadcast until the verdict...
...dangers is that a blackout, though it ostensibly protects defendants' rights, can suppress news about shoddy courtroom tactics. Agreeing to silence in one case can also encourage demands for noncoverage of other sensitive proceedings.

But Buckingham did not threaten to issue such an order, which itself could have been challenged in a higher court. One alternative-a change of venue for the second trial-was not requested. The judge did not even close the courtroom to the public; indeed, hundreds of spectators were...
Thieu, it seems, is in a touchy situation. On the one hand, he cannot continue to suppress newspapers and the demonstrations led by a strong Catholic opposition. Even the daily run by Thieu's nephew is publicizing the riots to show that the president has eased up on censorship. As Thieu said in a speech October 2, obviously directed to the Western press, without the support of "the people and the military" he will resign. On the other hand, the current demonstrations allow opponents to continue publicizing corruptions of the regime which were not permitted to filter down...
Wide World Special. Walter Cronkite, interviewed by Dick Cavett, will speak on his news preparation, Watergate, and possible government attempts to suppress the media. Cronkite and Cavett should make a rare duo: the straight-forward user and the witty abuser of language, the scientist and the alchemist of current events on television. Ch. 5, 12:30 a.m. 1 1/2 hours...
