Meanwhile, staffers buzzed about whether Blair’s relationship with a woman who is a friend of Raines’ wife helped win him favored treatment. Sources said the woman, Zuza Glowacka, has worked in The Times’ photo department. The Times reported Sunday that Blair, when confronted with a charge of plagiarizing a story about a Texas family, was able to describe their house in detail, possibly because he had seen the paper’s “computerized photo archives.” Glowacka, 23, a Polish emigre who could not be reached yesterday, is said to be a friend of Raines’ Polish-born wife, Krystyna Stachowiak, whom the editor married in March. Stachowiak, a former journalist who later worked in public relations, and Glowacka’s mother, journalist Ewa Zadrzynska, were among three people who set up “Poland on the Front Page, 1979-1989,” a media exhibit in Warsaw last fall. Raines said through a spokeswoman last night that he never socialized with Blair.
This story isn’t even close to being through.
