...managing editor, Big Ben decided to carry on in the same way. He teed off with an expose of the $250 million Union Electric Co. of Missouri, which the P-D had been investigating off & on for years. With a drumfire of Page One stories, the paper detailed the operation of $600,000 U.E. slush funds, used to influence legislators, city officials and newsmen. Result: U.E. management was overturned and three top officers were convicted in federal court (lending color to an old P-D staffers' boast that "once the P-D is on your trail, there...
