...violently leftist fringe group that calls itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. On the other side of the nation, in grim ideological counterpoint, a man who identified himself as a "colonel" in a far-right "army" abducted John Reginald (Reg) Murphy, the soft-spoken editorial-page editor and columnist of the Atlanta Constitution. Among the eventual plans of the American Revolutionary Army, said Murphy of his captors, was one "to engage in guerrilla warfare throughout the country." That may well have been their boastful balderdash and possibly no such group exists at all, except as a fiction to dress...
...staying on the defensive, the admiral accused the yeoman of being out to get him. Welander's charge stemmed from the fact that in December 1971 he had been the first to suspect that Radford was the one who had leaked a number of highly sensitive documents to Columnist Jack Anderson. The job of finding the leak was turned over to the plumbers and their chief, John Ehrlichman, then Nixon's top domestic adviser...

The government is understandably apprehensive about the upcoming report of a blue...
Most of the visitors who received special treatment realized that they were seeing only small patches of sky. After New York Times Columnist C.L.

...according to a Senator from Tennessee, "an ignorant liar, a pusillanimous liar, a peewee liar, a natural-born liar, a liar for a living." F.D.R. concurred. Joe McCarthy kicked him in the groin. Harry Truman ranked him among his top s.o.b.s. In fact, Columnist Drew Pearson was often misinformed and vindictive in the pursuit of his foes, but he was never intentionally mendacious. A courtly Quaker gentleman, he raked muck with a silver hoe-he married money and made $7,000 a week in his heyday-and set a pattern of investigative reporting and permanently emboldened American journalism...
