"In the past five years, nine Albany newspapermen have been subpoenaed a total of 20 times by the Albany County grand jury. Each time, the jury has shown little interest in finding out about criminal matters that the newsmen have reported. Instead, it has investigated the journalists themselves—their private habits as well as their professional performances."
