| | TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 4. The Pro-War Post. Todd Gitlin. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | For the 12-week period of Dec. 1 through Feb. 21, hawkish op-ed pieces numbered 39, dovish ones 12 -- a ratio of more than 3-to-1. |
 | | In December the total number of dovish columns, including columnists, was, to stretch the sum, two: a moral appeal by former U.S. Rep. Bob Edgar (D-Pa.), head of the National Council of Churches, and a skein of questions by William Raspberry -- good, legitimate policy questions, eminently worth asking, but still questions. |
 | | In January the paper's ratio was four dovish pieces to 17 hawkish ones. |
