In this we have Sy Hersh letting his hair down for some Canadians. A good editor would take him off the war beat and put him to covering tennis somewhere. He has forsaken journalism for advocacy. Not the first to do so, there will be others. But he is clearly a guy who knows what the story is before he writes it. He needs some surprises. It will be better for all of us.

Hard copy
This month’s Wed. Journal column has:
* PICKING A WINNER: I voted early this year but only twice — early at Village Hall two weeks ago, twice when the touch-feel machine wouldn’t save my paper. . . . .
* SIGNS OF TIME: Meanwhile, the Peraica signs seem to be growing on front lawns. It can’t be easy, I have said, for the true-blue Dem to go red-blooded Republican, even if he’s a supposed reformer. . . . .
* SIGNS MISPLACED: The Stroger signs, on the other hand, came and went like thieves in the night, for instance on the narrow grassy strip on South Boulevard across from the Oak Park Avenue el platform. . . . .
* RAISING MY HAND: Was happy to contribute my two cents to the OP elementary schools recommendation fund the other day. Did it online, but don’t you even think about that, because the deadline has passed. Had a few questions left over, however . . .
Read it. You’ll like it.
