Reaganites were admitting nothing, but there was evidence that the former Governor's strategists had engaged in some last-minute gamesmanship. It was Reagan who first challenged Bush to a two-man debate on Jan. 29, and the Nashua Telegraph (circ. 25,604) agreed to sponsor it. Two days before the debate, however, the Federal Election Commission ruled that the paper's sponsorship amounted to an il legal political contribution. Reagan offered to split the $3,500 tab with Bush. Bush refused, so Reagan paid...
...Angolite (circ. 2,000) is published every other month. Each issue contains between 35 and 50 letters to the editor, news reports on matters of interest to inmates, a listing of recent court rulings and a number of feature articles. The editors move freely around the prison and make unmonitored outside telephone calls. In the company of a guard, they can venture off prison grounds to cover a story. While naturally sympathetic to inmates' positions, the Angolite is not a reflexive advocate. Not long ago, for example, the magazine raised inmate ire by publishing an editorial criticizing a prison...
...moon lo. Though having look-alike covers is an editor's nightmare that all too frequently comes true, the science magazines' trifecta was an interplanetary long shot.

Says the Smithsonian's Don Moser: "It just confirms our good judgment." Confirmation does not end at home: China's Ziran Zazhi (Nature...

...Register (circ. 209,000 daily; 392,500 Sunday) started getting its own way back in 1903 when Gardner Cowles Sr. bought the paper and began distributing it throughout the state. Its sister paper the Tribune (circ. 83,000) is distributed primarily in Des Moines and nearby counties. The Register has six news bureaus around Iowa, an elaborate stringer network and a large, aggressive contingent at the statehouse in Des Moines. Four reporters, two editorial writers, a columnist and an editor are assigned to Washington. They concentrate on topics that have special significance back in Iowa, most notably farm issues. Bureau...
