"I respect her decision to retire from The Times and wish her well." Times and Reporter Reach Agreement on Her Departure By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE The New York Times and Judith Miller, a veteran reporter for the paper, reached an agreement today that ends her 28-year career at the newspaper and caps more than two weeks of negotiations over the conclusion of a tumultuous episode. . ............................... Lawyers for Ms. Miller and the paper negotiated a severance package whose details they would not would not disclose. Under the agreement, Ms. Miller will retire from the newspaper, and The Times will print a letter she wrote to the editor explaining her position. Ms. Miller originally demanded that she be able to write an essay for the paper's Op-Ed page refuting the allegations against her, the lawyers said. The Times refused that demand _ Gail Collins, editor of the editorial page, said, "We don't use the Op-Ed page for back and forth between one part of the paper and another." _ but agreed to let her to write the letter. .................................... Negotiations were difficult in part because Ms. Miller is a member of the Newspaper Guild and could not be fired easily.
