In contrast to the stodgy, opinion-packed journals that have traditionally formed Germany's newspaper diet, Springer's sprightly, independent papers concentrate on news and features. His morning Bild-Zeitung, a frothy, picture-filled tabloid that has the biggest circulation (3,000,000) of any newspaper on the Continent, pays little attention to politics and only skimpily covered Germany's election campaign.

Pinkley's successor: Hugh A. ("Bud") Lewis, longtime city editor of the Times. His probable first step: to attune the Mirror-News's editorial policy more closely...
Dyke Benjamin and Eddie Martin are also somewhat below par, but, in contrast to Reider, should be healthy enough to run. Benjamin is recovering from a severe case of poison ivy, and Martin is convalescing from the flu. Dave Norris, too, has had only one workout this week since being sidelined with a head cold...
