The Press: Congratulations

The New York Times surely deserves credit for its expose of the CIA’s domestic snooping operation (TIME, Jan. 6). But just in case not enough credit might be forthcoming from others, the Times itself is reminding everyone that congratulations are due. In the first 18 days after Correspondent Seymour Hersh broke the story, the paper ran 32 CIA-related articles and managed to mention its own scoop 38 times.
