  Washington Evening Star, April 19, 1913: Lafayette Square
When President Adams and the government officials moved here in 1800, the surroundings of the President's house were in an unfinished, untidy condition, and, indeed, the interior of the house was in the same plight, the east room of which was used by the household as a washing room on wash days.
This square, indeed, came near being a semi-circle for L'Enfant in his first plan of Washington, depicting the streets and squares in the neighborhood, included a semicircle which had its base ont he present Avenue, circling around to the south side of H street.
The house next became the property of the old Washington Club, celebrated as being the rendezvous of the gay and rich young men of the Capital in former times.

 Washington Star - BunzWiki
WMAL-TV broadcast from the second floor of a former ice skating rink (which it had renamed the Evening Star Television Center), and for several years the radio station broadcast from the same location, but it moved back to its original home when the television station underwent expansion in 1959.
Although the Evening Star had achieved a new record for circulation in the 1950's, that was also the beginning of its demise - indeed, many newspapers folded in the next few decades.
Even though Allbritton had bought the company with the intent of saving it from destruction, he clashed with staff members and lost his top editor to a Los Angeles publication.

 The Christchurch Star and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 1963 - Christchurch City Libraries
Preoccupation with the Christchurch Star connection intensified with the release in 1992 of Oliver Stone's movie JFK, which uses, as part of its evidence, the front page of the Star of 23 November 1963.
There were claims that the Star coverage contained information which was pre-packaged by conspirators prior to the assassination taking place and distributed in the US and then sent out to New Zealand very soon after the event.
He says that even in 1963 global communication was fast and effective everywhere and an assassination of a US President meant that everything and everyone on the Star worked doubly quick.

The 1968 campaign, as well as the contests in 1972 and 1976 and even, to an extent, in 1980, were still examples of the old style of Washington journalism pioneered and perfected by Scotty Reston.
This was more true among Democratic candidates than Republican, but it was still possible for print journalists to get to know the candidates reasonably well and to have background discussions of some length and sophistication with the candidates and with their senior advisors.
Even then, the senior staff regarded it as in their interest and in the nation's interest to meet regularly with the writing press.

It might even mean the compromising of the new United States-Japanese security treaty and in that case a damaging blow at our general military position in the Far East.” Despite the strength of their support, however, many journalists had little enthusiasm for Eisenhower’s undertaking.
We doubt even more strongly that Japan is the place at this moment for him to visit.” These journalists took an inventory of the political situations in all of the countries where the President planned to stop, noting that each one was in a turbulent period of crisis.
The editorial board of the Washington Evening Star thought that the protesters were did not represent the bulk of the Japanese people but still feared that they might take control of the government.

EDT (1825 GMT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Slim as a pencil ready to scribble on the clouds, the Washington Monument seems as inevitable and serenely irreplaceable as George Washington himself.

Washington newspapers reported that one morning in the late 1870s, when the shaft had reached the 250-foot (75-meter) level, workmen found a lost and unhappy cat at the very top.

While other Washington dailies vie for national prestige and influence, the Star acts as Washington's devoted housewife, fighting as hard for good garbage disposal in the District as for good government in the nation.
The Star campaigned for street numbers on houses, modern jails, a closed sewage system and through railroads, and even bested the Pennsylvania Railroad in a fight to eliminate grade crossings.
The Star is not only edited for the whole family, but has been published by the same families for 85 years.

"Evening Star", the second collaboration between Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, finds the pair operating in much the same environment as their first collaboration-- Fripp performs as a guitarist, soloing over loops developed via a system of tape looping invented by Eno termed "Frippertronics".
Of particular note is the title track, "Evening Star", built around a simple clean-tone guitar riff and harmonics, Fripp solos in fuzz tone in an overwhelmingly delicate and powerful mode.
I suggest listening to the samples as this may not be to everyone's tastes, even some fans of the collaborators.

Despite the fact that the Star's top management thought all the criticism of the CIA last year was damaging to the national interest, Assistant Managing Editor Charles Seib continued to run Reporter Robert Walters' exposes of covert CIA activities—probably the most extensive documentation to appear in any U.S. paper.
