...year-old former flight attendant, allegedly paying her $75,000; that's $50,000 more than Sherry Rowlands received from the Star for revealing her relationship with Dick Morris. The Regency suite, in which Johnson arranged to meet Gifford on April 30, had a hidden camera and tape recorder, the better to catch Frank in the act.

Diane Sawyer, whose haircut costs more than Peter Jennings' monthly car payment, unsure of herself? All those reporters who race to the scene of an airplane crash and shove their tape recorders in the faces of the survivors and ask them how they feel--those rude and ravenous news vultures are really quivering Jell-O molds of unease and self-doubt? Even Mike Wallace...
