　　原文：

　　When I was getting divorced in 1975, reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters, too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldnt let him in:He just wanted to talk,he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves having the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesnt matter how personal the mather may be. People dont trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in order to attract more public attention. Some papers present things that are simply not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, if it usually buried among advertisements. I received hundreds of letters from people asking me How do you know whats true in the press these days? I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious responsible and honest reporters. Dont judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys are on the top, the editors and news directors take firm action, presuming no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers or see on television news.
