...Progressive (circ. 40,000), a respected liberal monthly based in Madison, Wis., had argued that all the material in the article was in the public domain, compiled by a freelance writer who simply read extensively and interviewed numerous experts. Said Progressive Lawyer Earl Munson Jr.: "If Howard Morland can do it, then there is no secret, and the Government is only fooling the public...
...story of some 5,000 words, with the working title "The H-Bomb Secret," was due to appear in the Progressive (circ. 40,000), a left-wing monthly published in Madison, Wis. Two weeks ago, Managing Editor Samuel H. Day Jr. sent a copy to the Department of Energy in Washington and asked for verification of the facts.

Other papers are considering the move, among them the financially beset Washington Star (329,000), which has renegotiated its union contracts as part of a long-term campaign for revival (see following story...
...since P.M.s usually start their presses before noon, they often can print only updated versions of stories that first appeared in competing morning papers. Says Dallas Times Herald Managing Editor Will Jarrett, whose paper in September introduced a morning edition to do battle with the bigger morning News (circ. 283,000): "Before, everyone was beating us, no matter how hard the writers and editors tried." Now, he adds, "we can get out with the breaking news, then go back and do some interpretation in the later editions. It's fun." The move has boosted the paper's circulation...
