...Cousins became the Review's editor 31 years ago, and later its owner. Ten years ago he sold it to the McCall Corp. but kept total editorial control. Recently, however, Editor Cousins, 56, found himself caught in a game of conglomerate Ping Pong, agonizing over where the Review (circ. 650,000) would wind up and whether he could continue to run it in good conscience...
...they, and not the Times, received the Pentagon papers first. Although most newspapers do not command as much newsprint space as the Times, the great majority of editors, in the words of Denver Post Executive Editor William Hornby, "would have done just what the Times did."

...trying to hold the line on budgets and resist union demands. Despite the folding of the Sketch, labor shows no signs of surrendering any of its prerogatives, even at the risk of putting thousands more out of work. Of the "popular" papers, the conservative Daily Express (circ. 3,500,000) and the pro-Labor Daily Mirror (circ. 4,500,000) remain profitable, although both have been losing readers lately to Murdoch's gossipy, gimmicky new Sun (circ. 2,000,000). The new daily to be created from the Mail-Sketch merger is expected to have a hard time bucking...
