So the FBI's getting some resistance in their quest to go through late legendary investigative reporter Jack Anderson's papers; Anderson's family is saying no way. This is no surprise, and the FBI just didn't think things through before making such an unnecessary and invasive request. That is, Jack Anderson's memory is still alive; he's an icon, and icons stay with us. The FBI might as well be fighting Anderson himself for his papers. Legends are legends because they have a following, and Anderson's family will honor that following by keeping the press free, which is what Anderson spent his life fighting for--and in a way, still is.
