...thus somewhat of a surprise when Moyers announced last week that he will leave the White House, after 17 grueling months as the President's public voice and private confidant, to become publisher of Long Island's prosperous newspaper Newsday (circ. 415,000). Ordained a Baptist teacher, he has been with Johnson ever since he joined his Senate staff in 1959 after graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Moyers won the trust and liking of the hypercritical Washington press corps after he took over from the ailing George Reedy in 1965. Like everyone else, he did not find...
Chief mythologist and drumbeater for this theory is Penn Jones Jr., 52, the diminutive (5 ft. 2¼ in.) editor of a Texas weekly newspaper, the Midlothian Mirror (circ. 765). In 1965, Jones began a seemingly inexhaustible Mirror series intended, as he put it, to "bring into some intelligible whole all the events surrounding the assassination...

No cash will change hands, but Roy Thomson, whose empire is already worth $300 million, will get 85% of the stock. The remaining 15% will go to Gavin Astor, 48, current scion of the Astor family, which has owned the Times for the past 44 years. He thus gets a stake in a far stronger corporation and becomes its lifetime president...
...Worms. The unlikely spawning ground for this thriving enterprise is an Axelrod-designed three-story building in industrial Jersey City, not far from the polluted waters of upper New York Bay. It houses the presses of Axelrod's T.F.H. Publications, named for Tropical Fish Hobbyist, a monthly magazine (circ. 130,000) that Axelrod launched when he was a 25-year-old New York University graduate student. Since then, T.F.H. has turned out more than 460 books and pamphlets on fish-along with dozens of popular treatises on the care and upbringing of dogs, cats and birds...
