...total result of the press coverage was that the U.S. newspaper reader, depending on his paper to bring focus to a scene far beyond his own powers of definition, was left with a murky picture. The facts were all there-the drumhead justice, the full-length profiles of the dramatis personae in a national upheaval. The meaning was not. Publisher John S.
