Fearing the wrath of Robert Mugabe, the New York Times' Barry Bearak originally requested to keep his byline off a Page One article about the Zimbabwean president, where he reported the opposition party beat the incumbent's camp country's election, and may have also taken away the presidency. But then the story started getting pick up! "But as more Western journalists used their bylines and as the story grew more prominent," said a Times spokeswoman, "Barry felt it was time to use his byline, which appeared in the latest editions of the newspaper." So, if we're reading this correctly, he traded vanity for safety?
