...Director of the bureau; Hoover always cautiously restricted himself to the $2 window. In the '30s and '40s, he began to appear in New York nightclubs, such as the Stork Club, with cronies, notably Walter Winchell, but he would have only one drink, or two at most. Columnist Jack Anderson, whose agents assiduously went through Hoover's trash cans recently in an exercise of exceptionally personal journalism, confirmed that he liked to drink Jack Daniels...

But the real advocacy to be guarded against, he said, is the "sort that accepts the status quo as the norm." One of the few old-fashioned admonitions came from Seymour Hersh, who first broke the My Lai story: "There is not a newspaper in the country where, if you assemble your facts and do your work hard enough, they won't put [an expos...
