No injuries reported among Howard Marsden, Whalen, or Mrs. Alice Bryant.
The piece argues the House Ethics Committee lacks authority to suppress publication of a report created by public officials, questions the committee’s demand for sources, and warns that pursuing discipline against Daniel Schorr could chill investigative journalism and curb the public’s access to government actions.
