FOUR-COLUMN FINALE: William Safire ended his 30-year run on The New York Times editorial page today with a farewell set of four columns. As I said back in November, I have always admired Mr. Safire's independence and style. Unfortunately, he has often been unwilling to issue a correction of make an apology when his many accusations against political figures have not panned out.
