"Most of us have gotten very nosy about everything and everybody. But many of us fail to realize how nosy others are about us."
-- Retired Chairman and CEO Al Neuharth, writing yesterday in his weekly USA Today column about the release of the latest trove of WikiLeaks documents. On Wednesday, I reported the non-profit Freedom Forum last year paid Neuharth $216,094 in wages plus $262,235 for expenses as the journalism foundation's founder. It did not say what Neuharth, 86, did to earn the money.

I love Al's columns. They serve as a great reminder that one needn't write anything interesting or informative in order to be published. Just knowing the right people will do.
