...investigative team (whose trophy room contains 17 top awards, including three Pulitzers) concluded that some of Bebe Rebozo's financial "deals" had "tarnished the presidency." Perhaps as a result, White House Correspondent Martin Schram was excluded from the President's China trip, and Publisher William Attwood, Editor David Laventhol and Robert Greene, who led the investigation, were all treated to IRS audits of their tax returns. On its way to becoming a paper of national influence, Newsday has also built an enviable economic base; it now carries more advertising linage than any of New York City...
Others agreed that magazines in general were threatened. Publisher William Attwood of Newsday, who served Look as a writer, correspondent and editor for 16 years, called the magazine's demise "a real tragedy" and declared that "the Government is making it harder and harder for magazines to survive."

More important, the West German cars finished one-two-three, with the Porsche 917 driven by Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood leading the way at an average speed of 119.29 m.p.h. over 2,863 rain-slowed miles. Slow as the pace was, the closest contender to Porsche was Bucknum's Ferrari, which finished fourth at a distant 248 miles behind the winner. Since there is no heir apparent in sight...
...cover journalism. To Svetlana's memoirs, Thomas can add such glittering editorial credits as Maxwell Taylor's The Uncertain Trumpet, Matthew Ridgway's Soldier, John Gardner's Excellence, Chester Bowles's Ambassador's Report, Merriman Smith's Thank You, Mr. President, William Attwood's The Reds and The Blacks, Theodore Sorensen's Kennedy and William Manchester's The Death of a President. Only as a sideline does Thomas edit a few novelists, including John Cheever. As he sees it, "there's something romantic about people dedicated to public service...
