It's an exhausted and relieved Alexander Knox who stumbles through the door. After the long day he's just been through, a few hours - or maybe a day or two - in the Bar sounds even better than usual.
He throws off his coat and hat, and slides into a booth. In front of him is the evening edition of the Globe. Above the masthead, it reads "Four Star Extra". Below the masthead, in large type, the headline "MAYOR BORG FACES BRIBERY CHARGES" is easy to see. Knox takes another look at the lead story, and at his byline below the headline.
It's been a big day. It's a huge scoop. So why doesn't he feel good about it?
Signaling a rat, Knox orders two beers. And then slumps back in the booth, to try to relax.
