p> THE NEW JOURNALISM br> Re: The Washington Prowler's What's To Like? : /p> p>I read your piece on how unlikable John Kerry was and I found it interesting that not one person used to demonstrate Kerry's alleged miserable personality and alleged slacker work ethic were willing to be named. Did you really talk to any staffers -- either one of his or of Senator Edwards? Or did you simply make up this whole story? Without names it is impossible to find out if your magazine truly talked to anyone. A cynical reader like myself sees stories such as that one as a propagandist use of your pages to attack a candidate who might be able to unseat the president. Finding sources willing to put their names on their opinions used to be, and should be again, a basic practice of Journalism. br> -- Elisa Cohen br> Denver, Colorado /p> p> SUPER UNDERSTANDING br> Re: Andrew Simmons's Weakling Afternoon in San Fran
