...Times's foreign reporting remains unrivaled among newspapers. Timesman Sydney Schanberg's files from Cambodia won a Pulitzer in 1976, and James Markham's dispatches last year from war-torn Beirut should have. But the Washington bureau, the fief of Arthur Krock in the 1940s and '50s, then James Reston in the '50s and '60s, was overshadowed during Watergate by the Washington Post, now its chief rival on the national scene. The New York paper has recovered somewhat, beating the Post to major Washington scoops about CIA domestic spying and drug experimentation on unwitting civilians. The Post has been giving...
...their lives as the smoke outside darkens their windows. "You learnt a good deal, Louisa," says Mrs. Gradgrind (Ursula Howells), "-ologies of every kind, -ologies, -ologies, from morning till night, -ologies of every description.

Tiring of the joke, Kennedy followed in the Oldsmobile at 12:40. On the Main Road, however, Kennedy ran into trouble. He slowed when he saw a car approaching. It turned out to be Deputy Sheriff Look...
...certainly not been an instant brainstorm. Stonehouse's plans to shed his problems by adopting a new identity were laid well before his trip to Miami last November. First he telephoned hospitals looking for a dead person about his own age with no relatives; finding one Joseph Arthur Markham, Stonehouse obtained the latter's birth certificate and got a passport. Then, after his vanishing act in Miami, he flew to Melbourne, arriving on Nov. 27. The next day he left for Denmark via Singapore in order, he claims, to gauge the reaction to his disappearance in Europe...
