There is a point when we all look upon a public figure and go 'ugh.' (President Bill Clinton appears evasive)(Column)

Article Abstract:

President Bill Clinton's testimony to the Grand Jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky shows him as evasive, uneasy and angry about having to undergo the ordeal at all. This contrasts sharply with his subsequent efforts to come across as contrite and in need of forgiveness. Throughout his time as President, Clinton has relied on his ability to respond to changes in public opinion, and it would therefore only be right if public opinion turning against him were to force him to resign. His public image has been greatly damaged by the exposure of the gap between his public and his private style.

A Cassandra who had much to teach an aspiring war reporter

Article Abstract:

Journalist Martha Gellhorn, who died recently, showed great talent for evoking the eternal, uncontrollable nature of modern warfare. She was determined to draw attention to the impact of war on ordinary people, and did so by bringing together the skills of a novelist and those of a reporter. In later life, she lost much of her faith in the ability of journalists to prevent evils. However, she was still firm in her belief that journalists should make moral judgements on what they witnessed.
