A caller to the Tampa Tribune wanted to know why the media weren't reporting a story about Hillary Clinton and the Black Panthers -- a tale the woman had heard on Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story." Joseph H. Brown writes: "The reason the press hasn't 'covered' this story is that it's totally untrue. It's an urban legend that's been snaking its way across the Internet for years."
