The Indianapolis Star may or may not have been a "great" newspaper, but a little more than a generation back Eugene C.Pulliam made it a highly respected one, a professional journal controlled by professional editors.
Pulliam is spinning in his grave. He considered his opinion and editorial pages centerpieces of the great national debates among literate people interested in public policy. His commentary was cheerfully nonpartisan, attached to but not in bed with the kind of conservatism represented by men like Barry Goldwater.
Roberta keys on the primary sadness here. The media have only the lowest opinion of your intelligence and mine. Gannett controllers seem convinced you and I have never read a book cover-to-cover. Or perhaps they concede we may be part of the small, strange cult of word readers but understand that the big money is made in pandering to the comic-book class.
