From the Editor

In general a fortnightly magazine like NATIONAL REVIEW cannot compete with television and newspapers in continuing coverage of major news stories.

Fortunately, there is an exception to this rule, namely news of the Thompson committee hearings on “Asiagate,” where Rich Lowry (page 24) is able to scoop the rest of media on stories that have been (technically) on the public record for a week or more. Indeed, the non-treatment of the hearings has been such a shameless case of liberal media bias that even reporters have noticed.
