PRESTIGIOUS news organizations hate to become the story. So it was a rare exercise in contrition when The Washington Post ran a front-page article describing its own "deep embarrassment" at the way it had been dragged into the GATT debate. The Post, as the Nov. 25 article explained in extraordinary detail, had been caught violating its own rules. In September, the newspaper editorialized in favor of a pending bill to expand the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade without disclosing to readers that The Washington Post Company had a multimillion-dollar interest in seeing that the bill passed.

The Myth of 'Negative Stories'
Date: 04 December 1994
Michael and Arianna Huffington emerged last week to explain their $28 million defeat in the California Senate race. A turning point, Representative Huffington said, was the "week or two we suffered a lot of negative publicity" as a result of the press "ganging up" on the candidate and his wife. Mr. Huffington's critique bears closer examination. Over the past year, a kind of linguistic pollution has crept into the American political discourse. Candidates and their minders have twisted the language to define a category of "negative stories," the publication of which is inherently unfair. In fact, when candidates and political professionals talk about "negative stories," they are usually referring to journalism that gives readers information that the campaigns wish they did not have.

A lawyer for the former head of the White House travel office, Billy R. Dale, said today that he expected Federal prosecutors to seek an embezzlement indictment against Mr. Dale this week, charging him with stealing $69,000 in money paid by news organizations for Presidential trips. Steven C. Tabackman, Mr. Dale's lawyer, said his client would plead not guilty to the charges, which are likely to revive an embarrassing issue that created a furor when it erupted in May 1993, and left a powerful impression of White House bungling on ethical matters.

Restrain Those Prior Restraints
Date: 05 December 1994
It has been 23 years since the courts, responding to the most urgent pleas of the Federal Government, temporarily enjoined publication of the Pentagon Papers, a Vietnam War history. That temporary prior restraint on publication was thought necessary to let the Supreme Court examine the Government's dire warnings of peril to national security -- which the Court dismissed after inspecting the documents. That experience should have taught judges to deny out of hand virtually any request to restrain publication, even temporarily. Yet over the years judges, almost casually and on flimsy one-sided pleadings, often issue those restraints. Judge Peter Leisure of New York's Federal court acted in that silly tradition the other day, ordering a halt to the distribution of Penthouse magazine's January issue.
