		These were not the crotchety preachings of a fuddy-duddy; Russ Wiggins, who died yesterday at the age of 96, was a vigorous and engaged editor who cared deeply about ethical standards, old-fashioned honesty and the importance of a free and independent press.
		Wiggins kept reporters and editorial writers alike on their toes--quizzing them on findings, recommending books and suggesting further questions or research.
		Wiggins worked and wrote and read on; and he kept up correspondence with this newspaper, exchanging ideas, complimenting an occasional piece and reprimanding us for certain stands taken.

	Masthead, The: James Russell Wiggins, journalistic legend
		JamesRussell Wiggins, who died at his home in Brooklin, Maine, on November 19, 2000, just two weeks before his 97th birthday, was a journalistic renaissance man and a godfather of the National Conference of Editorial Writers.
		One of Wiggins' first acts at the Post was to ban racial identification in news stories and to forbid acceptance of freebies, such as baseball and theater tickets or junkets.
		During the API editorial writers' seminar, the late Ralph Coghlan, who was editor of the editorial page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, suggested that editorial writers ought to have a national organization in which to discuss common problems and interests.

		In some states, public employee contract proposals may not be divulged, bargaining-unit elections must not be publicized, negotiations may not be reported without jeopardizing the validity of elections.
		These inhibitions, at first blush, do not seem to menace freedom of the press seriously; but we ought to heed James Madison’s injunction to resist this threat “at the first trespass.” Newspapers are confronted with this threat time after time.
		Bureaucracy has an irresistible itch for secrecy, wherever publicity threatens the objectives toward which it looks with its tunnel vision.
