Editors Take On Conflicts of News Staff Diversity
Date: 09 April 1992
By Alex S. Jones

The nation's newspaper editors, a group overwhelmingly white and male, got some unusually frank instruction today in the complex task of communicating effectively with their increasingly diverse staffs. "Diversity is at the soul of what we are all about," said David Lawrence Jr., publisher of The Miami Herald, who is president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, which includes about 900 active and retired daily newspaper editors.

Report of Ashe's Illness Raises an Old Issue for Editors
Date: 10 April 1992
By Alex S. Jones

Arthur Ashe's reluctant admission, under pressure from USA Today, that he has AIDS has once again raised a persistent question for the nation's news organizations: When does the public's need for important information legitimately overrule a person's right to privacy? On Tuesday, USA Today contacted Mr. Ashe and told him that it had received information that he had AIDS and asked him if it was true. Mr. Ashe declined to confirm the report or to deny it. USA today told Mr. Ashe that it would not publish any allegations that he had AIDS without an on-the-record source for the information but that it intended to seek independent confirmation of the report. USA Today did not obtain sufficient confirmation to publish the article in Wednesday's paper.

None of Us Needs Other People's Fears

DO we need to know that Arthur Ashe has AIDS? The question, perhaps journalistically incorrect, bubbled up on Wednesday afternoon during his news conference. My first answer to myself was an emotional No. Here was a man whose public life has been about fairness, responsibility, respect and self-control. For the last three years he had tightly gripped the fraying corners of his life. Now they were being torn from his hands.

An Emotional Ashe Says That He Has AIDS
Date: 09 April 1992

Arthur Ashe, the former United States Open and Wimbledon champion and a pioneer in sports and social issues, said yesterday that he had contracted AIDS, apparently from a blood transfusion, and that he had known about his condition for more than three years. Although he had told several close friends about his condition, Ashe said he decided to disclose his illness publicly only after learning that a newspaper was preparing an article about it.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Media; Heard by Few, Clinton Speech Shows Candidates' Quandary

About 12 minutes into his victory speech in Manhattan Tuesday night, Gov. Bill Clinton exhorted a crowd of cheering supporters: "Tonight when you go home, when the celebration stops, when you finish looking at the numbers and reveling in the success, in the quiet moments before you go to bed, remember that nothing has yet been done to change the lives of the people, and our battle has just begun." With this exhortation, and indeed, with his entire 14-minute prepared speech, Mr. Clinton seemed to be trying to chart a more high-minded course for the next phase of his campaign, reviving the themes of hope and hard work with which he began the race six months ago.

Why Arthur Ashe Kept It Secret
Date: 10 April 1992
Arthur Ashe was understandably upset and angry when forced to reveal at a hastily called press conference Wednesday that he is suffering from AIDS. But he aimed his barbs at the wrong target when he complained about the person who "ratted" on him to a newspaper. The real villainy lies in the cruel and benighted public attitudes that compelled Mr. Ashe to keep his disease secret for three years. What a sad day for America when even an icon like Arthur Ashe can't reveal his AIDS affliction for fear that he or his family will suffer adverse consequences. There are few more respected individuals in American sport than this scholarly, dedicated man -- the most prominent black male tennis player in history, author of a three-volume history of African-American athletes, strong advocate for human rights and longtime friend of President and Mrs. Bush.

Years before Barry Switzer, the former football coach of the University of Oklahoma, said Jack Taylor Jr. was involved in a scheme to plant cocaine on a player, Mr. Switzer had already said that he was once so angry at the investigative reporter that he wanted to punch him through a plate glass window. Mr. Taylor, who was a reporter at The Dallas Times Herald when Mr. Switzer coached the Oklahoma Sooners football team, had written occasional unflattering stories about Mr. Switzer's stormy, but successful leadership of one of the nation's powerhouses in the sport. Mr. Switzer's tenure ended with his resignation two years ago.
