...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.

Reporters were present in the courtroom and took notes, but not a word about the case was printed or broadcast until the verdict...

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...
