It is normal practice for both papers to decline stories where they cannot obtain a source willing to have their names printed. The Washington Post runs an OMBUDSMAN column every Sunday on the Editorial Page, where this issue is discussed in detail, and you might wish to review some of these. Gee, I think the Press was flowing over with anonymously "leaked" stories these days. Didn't the Post just publish President Clintons deposition in the Paula Jones case? Should we ask them to study their Ombudsmann page or congratulate them on jornalism well done? <snip> Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir! __ Tore
