The press has its own version of Gresham's Law: the tendency, in the competition for readers, to let the scandalous and sensational drive out serious news. An example is the press in Britain, where the tittle-tattle of the tabloids has lately infected the news judgment of the quality papers.

Emperor Akihito did not quite call this an "annus horribilis" for Japan's royal family. There have been no divorces -- there has never been one -- no secret tapes, not a hint of scandal. There was even a huge royal wedding, the biggest in three decades, ushering in a brilliant American-educated Crown Princess. But when Emperor Akihito stepped out on the balcony of the Imperial Palace this morning to greet thousands of well-wishers who came to celebrate his 60th birthday, and declared that the year had been "severe," everyone knew he was talking about more than just the economy.
