Campus sit-ins were nothing new in 1971 when demonstrators seized part of the Stanford University Hospital, but student editors of the Stanford Daily (circ. 15,000) covered the event anyway. A wise move. Violence broke out, and nine policemen were injured. Three days later the police, armed with a search warrant, barged into the Daily's offices looking for photographs that might help identify their assailants. They found nothing of use, and the Daily filed suit. Eventually, two lower courts found that the paper's constitutional rights had been violated, and the police were ordered...
...Diego's morning Union and evening Tribune (combined circ. 317,000), the twin flagships of the Copley chain, the Times' move went over like an oil spill. "I look upon this as an invasion," fumed Union Editor Gerald Warren, a sometime White House press secretary who returned to his old home from Washington 2½ years ago to take up his current post. "We're itching for the fight. Our juices are running. We're going to give them the fight of their lives." In response, the Tribune is adding ten reporters, bringing its editorial staff...
...Times has not had to worry much about its home-town competition. The Hearst Corp., five months ago, hired ex-Washington Star Editor Jim Bellows to revive its long flaccid Herald-Examiner (circ. 331,000).

But the retooled daily...
...Miami Herald now has seven different editions throughout south Florida, the Detroit News has a computerized printing plant in the suburbs for speedier distribution, and the Chicago Tribune last year invested in suburban growth in, of all places, San Diego -by buying nearby Escondido's Times-Advocate (circ. 31,000). The Los Angeles Times itself has been producing a separate edition for neighboring Orange County for a decade...
...ration-law violations and collaborationist activities, offenses for which he was later banned from holding office or owning any publication. Amnestied in 1952, he built an automotive magazine into a press empire that now embraces 27 publications. Hersant's purchase of Figaro, and in 1976, of France Soir (circ. 443,100), Paris' largest afternoon daily, doubled the size of his holdings. It has been widely reported that leading right-of-center politicians, including former Premier Jacques Chirac and National Assembly President Edgar Faure, helped arrange the sales to keep the papers firmly in the hands of the governing...
