Media Freezes out a Threat to Corporate Owners
The New York Times' own public editor conceded that his paper had shortchanged Edwards. "In Iowa…John Edwards is close behind Clinton in the most recent Des Moines Register poll," Clark Hoyt wrote on November 18, "yet The Times has given him comparatively scant coverage. Clinton and Obama have been profiled twice each on the front page since Labor Day, but Edwards not at all this year. Throughout the paper, The Times has published 47 articles about Clinton since Labor Day, only 18 about Edwards." "I don't track our coverage by quantity," campaign editor Richard Stevenson responded. "In a qualitative sense, we've covered him pretty thoroughly, and there is more to come." There wasn't. Some point to early missteps–the $400 haircut, the big mansion, even his decision to keep running despite his wife's cancer–as causes of Edwards' electoral misfortune.

Curt Cavin: IRL & Formula One Q&A
Maybe Im wrong.
Question: I couldn't help but notice in your Feb. 12 answers in regards to who may attempt to qualify for the remaining 10-13 spots at Indy you never mentioned a single Midwest oval track racer. In fact the majority are foreign road racers. Sounds like Indy during The CART years doesn't it? (Dave, Johnson City, N.Y.)
Answer: Sure it does, and thats the hypocrisy of the past decade. Having said that, I think its fair to point out that there are thousands of young drivers out there coming up through the ranks and most of them are not running USACs oval tracks. Remember, Indy has always been an international event, so I see no reason to begrudge anyone who comes to the sport to compete. But as you know, the only path for oval-track Americans now is NASCAR, and that pains a lot of us.
