Press pressure

"GQ commissioned Joshua Green, a serious political reporter on the staff of the Atlantic, to do a piece on infighting within Hillary Clinton's campaign. ...

"Green was a good choice: He knew the turf, having written a much-admired cover story on Hillary for the Atlantic last winter. But in the course of reporting, Green had dinner with a Hillary mouthpiece. Next thing we know, one of Bill Clinton's aides is in the GQ editor's office telling him there'd be a 'problem' with granting access to Bill Clinton for GQ's 'Man of the Year' issue if GQ ran a muckraking Hillary story.

"Of course, any editor with a backbone would say, 'Thank you, your crude effort to kill this story will be included in the story. Goodbye.'

"Instead, the GQ editor killed the story. Profile in courage."

— Ron Rosenbaum, writing on "Magazines, bring back the write-around," Thursday in Slate at www.slate.com
