Five resign from Washington Times
Washington Post/April 15, 1987

excerpt:

Washington Times editorial page editor William P. Cheshire and four of his staff members resigned April 14, charging that Times editor-in-chief Arnaud de Brochgrave had allowed an executive of the Unification Church to dictate editorial policy. The Times is owned by News World Communications, Inc., a corporation affiliated with the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's church.

"It is no longer possible, in my judgment, for the Times to maintain independence from the Unification Church under the editorship of Mr. de Borchgrave, if it is indeed at all," said Cheshire.
