The public gets its chance the next day to kill the editors for omitting favorites stories, and aften for running others that they would rather were left out. Two daysâ€"Monday and Tuesdayâ€" especially. That’s when they decide what stories go where and what stories go nowhere and have to be killed because of lack of space. I was asked by some young people the other day to speak to them at a later time on a particular aspect of the newspaper business. But unfortunately I was unable to make it. That very thingâ€"the newspaper businessâ€"prevented me. They have a quaint custom here at The Liberal where they expect their minions to be around on certain days to put the paper together. After being introduced to the girls, ‘ one said their class would like to know if figs:r§:‘:v:(;ullfiigg(t)nder 1f the release of newspapers should print the facts.

But to get back to the young people. I was approached by two of them, plus a couple of adults, just as I was about to flee a school board meeting last week before the board members did any more damage before my eyes. And I might be called up sometime as a witness to testify whether or not there was a full moon on the night in question. I blurted out something else at that done point, something to the effect I thought maybe I knew what she meant now; that perhaps she wondered whether a It reporter had the right to introduce his all t] comments along the way. I dic I tried to think of a quick example, but didn‘t fare too well. I wanted to say that, after the reporter had listed who, what, when, where and why, there was nothing wrong in speculating on a few reasons for some of the above. In fact, he owed it to his readers if he knew some of the background. If, for example, a man was picked up Lowrey, Conn, Galanti.

It often goes beyond that. A fact, just as many words we took for granted for so long, may have to be redefined. But don‘t ask me to redefine it. I’ll stick with the dictionary definition: perpetration of actâ€" occurrence of event; datum of exâ€" perience (often with explanatory clause or phrase. for going beserk in a candy store and separating the white jelly beans from the black, it would help some to know he formerly was a member of Ian Smith‘s government in Rhodesia. If I interpret that last part correctly, then it backs up what I'm saying. Even Premier William Davis, whose government quietly destroyed the education system (and which also gave youngsters the right to drink along with Joe and the boys but never felt the need to apologize for any of that) rushed to beg forgiveness of the doctors. He did have a point this time, however, as the facts weren't com‘ pletely on the line. Some of those gigantic sums covered medical staff as well and were not always what the good doctors could claim for themselves.

Maybe she meant facts such as those set out in a story recently purportedly showing doctors” earnings under OHIP and which caused a great outcry. They didn't. But maybe I couldn’t have said much more to them, anyway, than I did when I left them at the board offices. I have rambled on and have not been all that satisfactory in my answers.
