...scabs themselves are in revolt. The problem is that Hearst continues to pay staff members even less than smaller local papers do, an issue that drove the Guild to strike in the first place. Thus a reporter who earns $229 a week on the Her aid-Examiner (circ. 419,000) could make $298 a week on the nearby Long Beach Independent and Press-Telegram (combined circ. 151,000). The strikebreakers are not permitted to join the Guild as long as the original strike continues, so this year they petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to have their own group, Employees...
Whenever Bernard Cabanes, 41, editor in chief of Agence France Presse, would run into Bernard Cabanes, 51, editor of the lowbrow morning daily, Le Parisien Libéré (circ. 800,000), the two identically named journalists would trade mistaken-identity stories-like the time in 1963 when police in Algeria arrested one of them for criticizing the government in print, when they really wanted the other. Last week the Bernard Cabanes who headed the news agency was buried. He was the victim of French journalism's bloodiest labor dispute in decades-and, once again, of mistaken identity...

This year alone, ten wrathful readers have taken him to court-from a local councilman whose voting record Greenspun disliked to an acupuncturist the Sun labeled as unqualified to practice...
...publishing his diplomatic memoirs of the Six-Day War. Large portions of Golan's 300-page review of the Yom Kippur War and its diplomatic aftermath consisted of official documents tied together with transitional passages. As diplomatic correspondent of the fiercely independent Hebrew-language daily Ha'aretz (circ. 55,000), Golan obviously had access to top-level sources, possibly within Israel's notoriously leaky Cabinet. Along with trading Kissinger stories last week, Israelis debated the identity of their own Deep Throat...
...German descent and initially opposed to Zionism (a position long since abandoned), it has 40,000 members and an annual operating budget of $9 million. Its general purpose is to protect the civil and religious rights of Jews, and reduce prejudice. It publishes the lively intellectual journal Commentary (circ. 60,000) and the American Jewish Year Book...
