"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE"
Editor's Corner
By Bob Burton
The latest public figure to have his pri-
vate life exposed is going to be Elvis
Presley. Joan Crawford had her day. Then
recently there was Lyndon Johnson who had
a going-over.
It seems that certain family members, former
friends, or plain strangers carry the card,
"Have muck. Will sell' What all these cele-
brities have in common is that they are all
dead. That common denominator makes these
reputation smashers all the more odious and
lumps them into a group by themselves.
Public figures, especially politicians,
should have their actions that have social
implications exposed. The public has a right
to know how these men in public office have
influenced their lives. However, the actions
of a politician or celebrity that are purely
private in character should remain so. The
problem often is to disti.n7ui sh between t'1e
two.
Man does seem to have a mean streak in him.
It appears a good part of the public often
likes to bring down those who have risen to
certain heights by exposing their human
failings. The little guy seems to enjoy
bringing the big guy down to his level or
lower. It probably always has been this way
and no doubt always will be.
So it will continue to be "openseason" on
those who have made it whether it be right
or not. Success has a price, sometimes a
high one.
