I really, really value honesty and integrity in journalism over panache. I move from Time to Newsweek to US News & World Report searching for journalism without an axe to grind. Boring? Maybe. But there's something to be said for non-biased reporting.

WHY should we care? B.D., we HAVE TO care. After all, M.B. Howard was the prototypical new age journalist. Not just another tattered, pants-pissing newspaper reporter warming a barstool in the Denver Press Club, but a cutting edge (that'd be the edge of a single-edge razor blade, of course) coke dust Hoover who sparked journalistic intensity via jangled nerves and $1,000-a-day habit, rather than a foggy, old-school rage fueled by a three-boilermaker lunch. And to think we ran his sorry ass out of town. How shortsighted could we have been? : ) Mr. Reverence, Chris Lawson B.D. writes: And we care about the former editor of the Rocky Mountain News, why? ;-) >>Chris Lawson takes a wild guess: Let me guess. Would that be Michael Balf Howard, former Rocky Mountain News (Denver) editor-in-chief and cocaine addict who slithered out of town in shame? No, I didn't think so. -Chris Lawson<< >>>nbeddoe@lehman.com writes: How many Americans can tell me who Michael Howard is? Neil<<< _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
