MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) But even so, they broaden our lives. They inform, entertain, stand guard, and feed us millions of words every day and every week with remarkable accuracy. A free press has all the flaws of ree country. It has good guys and bad, diamonds and duds. But it isn't fair to criticize without first asking, "If we didn't have the First amend­ ment and a free flow of in­ formation, what would be the alternative"? Of course, the answer is control. Newspapers should be responsible, truthful and worthy of trust. The great majority are. If a few don't measure up, we can stand that, for as long as they're free, we are free. K.A.F.
