Dinner with the Kovaches......

Let's see if this brief report on a most delightful--and insightful--dinner with Bill and Lynn Kovach can make the blog.  Bill is truly one of the Last of the Mohicans of what we might call responsible journalism.  We quickly established that he is as dismayed as we are with the free fall of the Washington
Post into a frivolous provincial sheet, in a free fall from its erstwhile (Katharine Graham) goal of rivalling the NYT both in its local (Washington) as well as national coverage.  The Newark paper is (or was) a worthier rival of the NYT than the Post is today.  Pity.
