Also favored were the Los Angeles Times, which is powerful in the West and runs a news service with more than 200 U.S. newspaper clients, and the eleven-newspaper Knight chain. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Chicago Sun-Times also met the same obvious criteria: a strong antiwar editorial record...

For some editors, it was not so much a matter of seeking portions of the papers as simply sitting back...
...only appeared to be in human form. The orthodox consensus, of course, was that he was both truly man and truly God. Beyond that basic tenet, however, different cultures through the ages have invariably given Christ different characterizations.
