Here we're blessed with journalists like my longtime friends Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker and their new reporting partner Dylan Purcell, who have won Pulitzer Prizes for digging into the kinds of stories that would intimidate most folks as just too hard to get. Most recently, they spent months out of the paper — in an era when most bosses are obsessed with online "clicks" and byline counts — so they could dig, literally sometimes, into dangerous asbestos hazards in Philadelphia schools. Because of their recent reporting, the city's new Board of Education rush-approved a $15.6 million emergency cleanup that will prevent some kids or teachers from getting sick. That's being "an enemy of the American people"? With enemies like that, who needs friends.
