Man in the News: Michael Demaree McCurry; Articulate Defender
Date: 06 January 1995
By Todd S. Purdum

In his 18 years in Washington politics, Michael D. McCurry, the new White House spokesman, has learned a lot about defending Democrats in trouble, having represented a Senator facing indictment and three failed Presidential candidates with equanimity and wit. He showed those qualities just minutes after President Clinton officially announced his long-expected appointment as press secretary today, when a reporter noted that Mr. McCurry had worked in 1992 for one of Mr. Clinton's rivals for the Democratic nomination, Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, and asked if he had any reservations now.

There were reports today of a respite in the bombing of the embattled capital of Chechnya, as ordered by Boris N. Yeltsin. But it brought no reprieve to the Russian President, who remains under attack at home and abroad for his military offensive against the secessionist southern region. Western press reports from Grozny, the rebel capital, supported Russia's claim that bombing was limited to the outskirts of town, but Russian reports contradicted it.

Date: 06 January 1995
Hillary Rodham Clinton responded today to the cutting remark made about her in a television interview with a gentle dose of hospitality, and President Clinton defused the situation with a bit of humor about his own outspoken mother. In an interview broadcast tonight on the CBS News program "Eye to Eye With Connie Chung," Representative Newt Gingrich's mother, Kathleen, was coaxed into saying that her son had referred to the First Lady as "a bitch." Mrs. Gingrich made the remark after Ms. Chung urged her, "Why don't you just whisper it to me, just between you and me."

Journalist Is Artist, Judge Says, Denying Pay
Date: 05 January 1995
By Peter T. Kilborn

In a decision that could have widespread implications for the nation's newspapers, magazines and broadcasters, a Federal judge here has ruled that many of today's journalists are too creative and talented to be regarded as drones of the workplace. They are real professionals, said Judge Norma Holloway Johnson of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in a case involving a former top reporter for The Washington Post. And that, she said, makes journalists ineligible for the premium pay -- one-and-a-half times the regular hourly wage -- that the law requires for factory workers and most others who put in more than 40 hours a week.

Most Russian newspapers have been unsparingly critical of the Government's offensive in the secessionist region of Chechnya, but the Wednesday issue of Moskovsky Komsomolets was by far the most withering. Beneath a front-page headline that read, "The Most Talentless Commander in Russia," editors superimposed a photograph of a grinning Defense Minister, Pavel S. Grachev, over another of dead Russian soldiers laid out on the snow. The doctored photo makes it look as if the general's left foot is shoved against one body.
