The discovery that the
Portland Press Herald sat on
Ted Cohen's
story about
George W. Bush's 1976 arrest embarrassed executive editor
Jeannine Guttman and made the paper an object of ridicule among journalists, writes
Alex Irvine. Since then, Cohen says, "the working atmosphere has just been strained beyond words." Managing editor
Eric Conrad says: "Ted Cohen is obviously a disgruntled former employee."
