Mandel, who lives in Brussels and edits the militantly leftist weekly La Gauche (circ. 5,000), has written a number of books. His most recent is a two-volume work titled Marxist Economic Theory. Critics both in the U.S. and abroad have praised the book's fresh, undoctrinaire approach to Marxism, and the Economist felt that "no student can afford to ignore this very important work." Mandel's ideas may clash with American beliefs, but there is something absurd in the whole Mc-Carran Act notion that the U.S. must be protected from dangerous alien contamination by keeping...
Hersh and D.N.S. did not have the story entirely to themselves. The daily Alabama Journal in Montgomery (circ. 26,000), which had received a tip on Nov. 4, broke into print in its 2 p.m. edition of Nov. 12. And the New York Times, which got wind of the story around Nov 7, had its own report for Nov. 13. Both lacked the detail of Hersh's piece. Hersh had quotes from Calley ("I know this sounds funny, but I like the Army . . . and I don't want to do anything to hurt it") and from another soldier...
Died. Matsutaro Shoriki, 84, Japanese newspaper publisher who brought the grand old game of besuboru to his homeland; of a heart attack; in Tokyo. In 1924, Shoriki purchased the dying Tokyo daily Yomiuri (circ. 40,000) and as a promotional gimmick sponsored visits by American baseball teams featuring such stars as Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. The tours were overwhelming successes, and the game soon became as popular in Japan as in the U.S. Today, Yomiuri's circulation is 5.1 million, in no small part because of the thoroughness of its baseball coverage...
...twelve years since Graham last crusaded in New York, he has become more than ever a national institution. His evangelical enterprises, including Decision magazine (circ. 3,500,000), run on a budget of more than $15 million a year. Over the years, he has preached in person to more than 40 million people, and persuaded some 1,200,000 to declare their spiritual conversion to Christ. Last January, he offered a prayer at President Nixon's inaugural, and he prepared for the New York crusade in Nixon's Key Biscayne home. He has even won the friendship...
...World War II exploit, the flight was instead the latest example of the effectiveness of the private air force owned and operated by Japanese newspapers. Pilot Kumon flies full time for Asahi, Japan's largest daily (circ. 5,350,000), and his flight last week brought the world its first news, complete with pictures, of the U.S. Navy's massive move to protect electronic spy missions off Korea. His crewman's photographs of the U.S. carrier gave Asahi a brief edge in Japan's intense press rivalry, but some ten other press planes, including those...
