I did like "The Journal reached out to Webster's public relations office". Is that just an Americanism or a very dry satire on public relations-speak?
Proper piece of journalism, that piece, though.

"When asked how Webster’s budget compared with the proposal of the competing institution referenced in the TTU memos, Giblin said the figures did not match up. Giblin was unable, however, to elaborate on the dissimilarity. Giblin theorized the assertion of a competing institution may have been a negotiating tactic used by Polgar or Truong."
