The open-ended adulation of journalists must be sluiced off before the whole country is awash with treacle of the tackiest sort. The glamor-plating of the investigative reporter, which began so earnestly following the Watergate disclosures, soon tarnished into a game of self-pandering played by lesser specimens of the genre journalists writing ad nauseum about journalists. I AM DISTURBED now by a further deterioration. In the current New York maga AVNU Technicolor From Wampf Broi fPP1. I III MM.

i6 Good-by Freedom Elton John's latest hit, "Philadelphia Freedom," has gone right to the top of the pop music c.harts. Ironically, the team which his song is about has just gone, period. The song, which pays tribute to Philadelphia's rich heritage of freedom, was inspired by Elton's association with former Freedoms coach Billie Jean King. John was an investor in the Freedoms until they were sold by owner Dick Butera to a group in Boston recently. Ms.

King was traded to New York.

F. Stone, now 67 and still practicing, always asked the hard question, never feared to step on powerful toes or to provoke the wrath of his own disciples or lantsmen. If he didn't always find the truth, it wasn't for a lack of trying. I confess here that I am shilling baldly for the 1st annual Izzy Award and MY rationalization is an abiding wish that incipient diggers of facts now in high school or college turn out like I. F.

Stone, and not like the other guy. THE IZZY AWARD is to be made next month, in connection with the 1st annual Spring Arts Festival of the Free Library of Philadelphia, "to the best undergrad or high school journalists in the tradition of I. F. Stone's toughminded intelligence and clear prose." Any medium (print, TV, film, radio, cartoon photo) is eligible. To enter, one must submit a 100-word (or fewer) description of the journalistic achievement before April IS to Patrick D.

Hazard, Beaver College, Glen-side, Pa. 19038. The unusual first prize is a $500 scholarship for the school or college that trained the winner and how's THAT for justice (Or any other non-profit institution library, cultural center, etc. the winner feels helped shape him in Izzy's ideals.)

This man went into a fit of rationalizing, however, and Stone using the excuse that "the best way to write about an organization which uses fiction as a shield was to turn to fiction myself," hacked out a roman a clef; that is, a work in which real persons or events are shielded by fictitious names or circumstances. The result is awful, and of course the magazine put it right out front under the title: "C.I. Cover Story." How terribly clever.

How terribly New York. What this country needs is a journalist like I. F. Stone, and if he weren't still living, Is DOUBLE PREMIERE ENGAGEMENT 1G0 Minutes Cf WHEN WOMEN RULED THE EARTH!
