"Rep. Jim McDermott had no right to disclose the contents of an illegally taped telephone call involving an Ohio congressman and other House Republican leaders a decade ago, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.
"In a 5-4 opinion in Boehner v. McDermott, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott, a Washington Democrat, should not have given reporters access to the taped telephone call.
"McDermott’s offense was especially egregious since he was a senior member of the House ethics committee, the court ruled."

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
