Sort of good news - long

[Steve Richards]

Tacfoley,

I think that this falls into a quote that I have heard attributed to Winston Churchill that went something like "We are two countries sepparated by a common language." What goes into one side of the Atlantic can come out the other side as totally different.

Heydrich,

I think that the Oregonian is quite conservative also. Not so much politicaly as it bows to the business interests at all time. They even made national news one time a couple of years back when they ran a big article on how to get the best deal on a new car. An entire day's run was printed and on the loading docks when on of the large car dealerships got wind of the piece and called the editor. The printed copies were trucked to the dump and new ones printed without the offending article! But it is all that we have for a statewide paper and they sometimes let something through that really surprises me.
