Bernd has it right ... the Congressman's fate was breaking news that hadn't, well, broken yet. <g>
But as Bernd says, I think it's safe to say that Perry immediately returned to his office to make a few phone calls and assigned a reporter to the story, thus capturing the "scoop" of the day and creating the very paper Wells was holding in his hands.
Ah, gotta love time travel eps.
