...Where might the owner of the British weekly News of the World (circ. 6,000,000), the daily London Sun (circ. 2,600,000) and the Sydney Sunday Telegraph (circ. 622,000) surface next? Why San Antonio, naturally. Later this month Publishing Baron Rupert Murdoch, 42, will complete his $18 million purchase of the San Antonio morning Express (circ. 84,000) and evening News (circ. 63,000), sister dailies owned by Harte-Hanks Newspapers Inc.

The News of the World (circ. 6,000,000) revealed that one of its photographers had taken sneak pictures of Lord Lambton romping in bed with Prostitute Norma Levy and another doxy. NOW's rival, the Sunday People (circ. 4,600,000) admitted paying for film and tapes of Norma's upper-crust bedroom festivities...
Schlesinger also must watch out for a smoldering rivalry between the CIA and the DIA. The rivalry broke out in the open recently in the form of an article in the small (circ. 75,000) monthly magazine Army, written by Major General Daniel O.
