The Liberal Guardian

To the Editor: It would be churlish, not to say outrageous, of me to find any fault or flaw in Bernard Avishais generous and flattering review of my new book, The Patient Has the Floor (June 1). But there was one unfortunate characterization, no doubt caused by the need for compression. Mr. Avishai writes, correctly, that for 25 years I was the chief American correspondent of The (then Manchester) Guardian. But he calls it the left-wing Guardian. The only left-wing Guardian I ever knew was a sheet that used to circulate, and perhaps still does, out of Berkeley, Calif. The Guardian I was proud to join in 1945 was the most famous voice of European liberalism and had been from the time of Dickens and the Reform Acts; on through the papers finest years, during the liberal heyday of Lloyd George and Churchill (who, it should be remembered, followed Bismarcks example and introduced the infant welfare state into Britain); and on, with unabated stubbornness, into the later years of alternating Conservative and Socialist governments and the woeful and seemingly irrevocable decline of the Liberal Party.

On the opening day of his trial, an American reporter who is the first journalist to be tried under the countrys new press law pleaded not guilty to publishing false information. Andrew Meldrum, the Zimbabwe correspondent for The Guardian, reported that an opposition sympathizer had been beheaded by supporters of President Robert Mugabe. The story, first reported in a local newspaper and then picked up by a number of news organizations, turned out to be false and was retracted by the paper, The Daily News.

It was with a special sense of fulfillment that British writers including JOHN LE CARRE, MARGARET DRABBLE, SALMAN RUSHDIE, Lady ANTONIA FRASER and HAROLD PINTER heard of the collapse of the coup in the Soviet Union yesterday.

Confession as Strength At a British Newspaper

Its not news that newspapers make mistakes, garbling names, misquoting sources, reporting that a figure was $812 when it was actually, er, $812 million. But in Britain, the land that introduced the notion of the fact too good to check, most newspapers are notoriously reluctant to print corrections, except when the error is particularly glaring or the threat of legal action particularly pressing. It is unclear whether the no-correction policy is based on arrogance or a feeling that mistakes are yesterdays news and thus not worth revisiting..

London Journal; All Is Not Lost: Art of Insult Survives New Britain

Just when people nostalgic for a pricklier Britain were lamenting that the country was losing its touch for the wounding insult, two of the countrys best-known writers have come to the rescue with a cascade of abusive comments about one another. In a week of correspondence of growing vituperativeness, Salman Rushdie has called John le Carre an illiterate pompous ass, and Mr. le Carre has replied that Mr. Rushdie is self-canonizing and arrogant, blinded by the pursuit of increased royalties for himself from the physical danger that sales of his book posed to others..

Faint Soviet Signals

The mysterious document brought from Moscow by the correspondent of The Guardian of London may be a fake, but it is an interesting comment on the Soviet atmosphere behind the scenes nonetheless. It is purportedly a manifesto written by some senior officials calling for dramatic reform, with full freedom of press and speech and contending political groups. The police apparently knew about it, because they confiscated a second copy, which NBCs correspondent also received and tried to take out of the country. The Guardians correspondent himself warned in his article that the manifesto might have been a provocation from anti-Gorbachev factions trying to block essentially modest economic reforms by showing where they could lead. But he tended to believe it authentic. After publication, experts in London said they thought it was a falsification by emigre Russians, given to Western reporters in Moscow so as to make it credible.
