On the same front page the LAT highlights escalating food prices, which is alright so long as they also from time to time highlight the declining budget deficit or the escalating stock market or low interest rates. These they seldom mention.
Also, on the same front page the LAT once more piles on Alberto Gonzales, relating a story about an attempt to get then Attorney General John Ashcoft to sign a document while in the hospital recovering from gallbladder surgery. The LAT quotes the bombastic Chuck Schumer as saying the incident "crystallized" Gonzales's "view about the rule of law: that he holds it in minimum low regard." The LAT might have quoted Gonzales but why let Gonzales speak when Schumer is available?
