Louis Rose, 66, tiny, tough-talking director of Circulation ($110,000 a year), is an ex-newsboy, disciple and brother-in-law of the late Max Annenberg. He is the only executive who can stop the presses (with a buzzer that blows a siren in the press room). "Louie" Rose cruises his newsstands at night in a new, $5,000 Packard. His boss bought it, found the roof too low for the high McCormick head, told Rose: "If you like it I'll give it to you." Rose liked...

To Guild members, who might also be baffled by the discrimination, the Guild frankly admitted that it considered Stern the softer touch...
...news vendor, emerged from the purge stronger than ever. Until last week, Field and the editorial writers had charted Sun policy. Now two of the five editorialists are gone, and the new board will do the navigating. Dimitman, who learned his trade under the late Moe (Daily Racing Form) Annenberg on the Philadelphia Inquirer, is on the board...
