"Probably no secretary of state in history has had a closer relationship with the newsmen who cover him," diplomatic correspondent Bernard Gwertzman '57 wrote on March 4.

He even loses the diner (his last touchstone) to a new helper. Henry is good, almost too good, so when his teen-age waitress, Callie, gets pregnant...
Means and Banks made statements about Indian solidarity and wondered aloud why the jury panel was all white. Network reporters began to wander out, and local cameramen started shooting footage of onlookers instead of the speakers. Then Kunstler predicted that the government's case would flop in the Wounded Knee trial, just as it has in every other political trial of the last few years...
