...have had some misgivings about Murdoch. He is a leading practitioner of what Fleet Street calls the "tits and bums" school of journalism; his London tabloids, the News of the World and the Sun (combined circ. 9 million), celebrate crime and cheesecake. In the U.S., Murdoch's three-year-old national Star (circ. 1.3 million) is a gaudy but not particularly profitable cousin of the mindless National Enquirer, and his San Antonio Express and News (combined circ. 156,000) is even worse (sample scoops: UNCLE TORTURES TOTS WITH HOT FORK, HANDLESS BODY FOUND, GIRLS STREAK AT GUNPOINT).

Ford was not yet free of two other allegations. One, which seemed farfetched, nevertheless remained on Ruffs desk. It was the three-year-old assertion by William Perry, a former assistant to the president of the National Maritime Union, that the N.M.U. made regular secret monthly payments to a number of Congressmen, including Ford. Ruff must decide whether his office will pursue this apparently wild allegation...
