Default Re: well its death squads all over again. (seymour hersch article)

What's with the layout - The New Yorker - then FACT in bold red beneath? Who concocted that IDEA - Alexander Woollcott?

I always did assume "The New Yorker" had a monopoly on FACT, but was unaware of the boldness with which it is toted - not that I'm surprise. Seymour Hersch should be fired and Robert Benchely hired to replace him. I know that Benchley is dead, but this only adds to his appeal and he could produce more enjoyable articles from one of the circles of Hell that he no doubt currently inhabits.

And what’s with this Vietnam word that is always an appendage to many current articles to inflame the throbbing masses with? I’m bored of this. Can’t these higher ups and mucky muck writers think of anything else for a teaser?

Thanks for posting the link, interesting read.
