Take a look at the front page of today's Baltimore Sun. No mention of Robert Ball's death. I am unable to determine online whether the Baltimore Sun even carried an obituary for Robert Ball! Certainly, there was no major article on Ball's passage.
The Social Security Administration is the largest employer in the Baltimore area. Robert Ball was arguably the most important figure in the history of the Social Security Administration. I cannot comprehend the Baltimore Sun's studied indifference to the Social Security Administration. Is this ideological? Is it because the Baltimore Sun is just a bad newspaper? Is it because the Social Security Administration is located somewhat on the periphery of Baltimore?

The Sun used to be a good paper, but it's just a part of a chain now and has no local institutional memory, apparently. A search of their website shows only the brief AP notice of Mr. Ball's death.
Just a bad paper!
