Last month, when Newspaper Publisher Samuel Newhouse bought a 15% slice of the Denver Post, it seemed certain that that was only the beginning. In the process of acquiring 14 newspapers, Newhouse has never been content with less than full possession, and before leaving Denver he hinted broadly that he planned eventually to own 100% of the Post. But Newhouse reckoned without the power-and the fury-of a woman...
...taken all his patience to follow his changing fortunes after death. While Delacroix hailed him as "one of the hardiest innovators in the history of painting," others denounced his classicism as cold, almost lifeless. But in an age of facile painters who were more interested in mannered effects than content, he restored discipline and purity to art.

It is in the area of politics that Newsday President Harry Guggenheim and Newsday Editor Alicia Patterson part editorial company...
Selinger's satisfaction was not universally shared. Argentina-from whose soil Eichmann had been kidnaped by Israeli agents last month-seemed content to accept at face value Israel's pro forma denial that the kidnaping had ever happened. But in New York, Nahum Goldmann, prestigious president of the World Zionist Organization, was openly troubled by Israel's unilateral action and urged that Eichmann should stand trial for mass murder before an international court rather than an Israeli...
