...Carters' arrival in the mountains of the West was thus a bracing change, even though an editorial in the Idaho Statesman complained peevishly that the President was more interested in the state's wilderness than in its people. It was true, though, that the First Family?Jimmy, Rosalynn, Amy, Chip and Jack?soon became about as isolated as a modern First Family can get. Climbing aboard an 8-ft. by 20-ft. wooden-floored rubber raft, they set out for a threeday, 71-mile ride down the utterly uninhabited Middle Fork of the Salmon River. To be sure, Secret Service...
Meanwhile Israel braced itself for a new round of terrorist violence, which was plainly calculated to derail the Begin-Sadat-Carter summit meeting that is scheduled for next week at Camp David. Israeli television broadcast graphic?and all too true-to-life?programs instructing viewers on how to cope with terrorist bombs. A citizens' organization set up a fund to pay the equivalent of a $550 reward to anyone who discovered and reported an explosive device.

Commemorating the death of Caliph Ali (A.D. 600-661), who is revered by Iran's 34 million Shi'ite Muslims as the only true successor to Muhammad, is always a solemn occasion.

At times these opinions have found their way into news coverage, just as they must unavoidably find their way into any newpaper's front page. The art of newspapering is just that--an art, nor a science--and cannot be exercised with the precision of a dean--human precision, varying according to individuals. Sometimes we make a mistake--just as sometimes...
Seductive words. And yet they do not hang together, at least not completely. The smart newsman, as well as the intelligent reader, realizes that complete objectivity is indeed a fantasy, never to be attained. Anything a reporter writes is, in the true sens of the word, a "story," one person's account of a particular event, hardly to be trusted as Divine revelation. But at the same time, the reporter should recognize that objectivity, like perfection, is a fantasy worth pursuing, a goal that is not only noble, but practical. The more nearly objective, or more nearly perfect...
