THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

P. S. Truman's take thus far is $12,249,226. If divided by an average ticket price of $6.40 that means fewer than TWO MILLION have seen it -- and that number may be much smaller as it's played on the coasts, where ticket prices are much higher, and on the outh -- ARTHOUSE circuit. To put that in perspective, it may be lower than the combined season home attendance of the FIVE LOWEST NFL TEAMS. Please, pretty please, let Truman win!
