The cover, in fact, shows Raines in the water holding a whopper.

The fish metaphor applies so aptly here that it is hard to believe that a dunce like Raines came up with it.

"Holding a whopper"??? Why not? His newspaper has become famous for publishing whoppers!

"The one that got away"??? You mean, like the formerly respectable empire that WAS the New York Times? Or do you mean The Truth?

Fish and the New York Times are both reputed to be good for the mind, but both are slimy, smelly, and stupid.

Finally, the New York Times is the perfect companion for wrapping fish guts once you've finally caught one of the slippery buggers.
