...study group, called “Tower of Babble: The Search for News and Truth in the New Millennium,” has hosted speakers such as ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson, former CNN CEO and Chairman Walter Isaacson, and blogger Jeff Jarvis...

Questions about the President's service dwindled, and CBS was forced to endure the kind of treatment White House aides received every week.
