Ms. Mathiesen seems to be actually be writing a Travel Log, so I can't take easy potshots at her for continually using the same topic. Perhaps consequently, her column improved this week. It meanders, it touches on too many topics, but it is actually readable and professional. Hurrah!

The article following up on the FBI-Berkeley story in the Chron is pretty good. It's actually better written then the Chronicle's, and gives more context into the situation behind Kerr's firing. The one odd thing is the easy credit given to a single Daily Cal alum for discovering the story. Considering it took three lawsuits and over a decade, giving credit for the scoop to one reporter's decision to file a FOIA request seems pat.Email This Post!
