...Washington party, the New York Times's Pundit Arthur Krock got a tongue-in-cheek proposition from his good friends, Columnists Joseph & Stewart Alsop. Why shouldn't they team up in a "bloody triangle of journalism," each turn out one column a week? That way, they could get away with less work.

ABC will then have 16% of the new company's common stock; Noble will hold 9%. CBS, which...
