...principals?Robards, Jack Warden, who played Metro-editor Harry Rosenfeld, and Martin Balsam, who played Managing Editor Howard Simons?had to be present on the set every day because Pakula had decided to shoot the city room sequences in "deep focus." This meant that even when these players did not have any lines, they were visible in the background of most scenes. They coped as cheerfully as they could with the situation. Robards would often simply retire to "his"?that is, Bradlee's?office and read the books that had presumably helped shape the character...
...question is, after all the pain and bad feelings, was it worth it? The answer is yes, and one reason for that answer is Redford. If he was never completely satisfied with any of his coworkers' contributions, he turned out to be a shrewd editor of their work, choosing from their offerings that which fitted?and expanded?his original conception of the film.

Regular features akin to Felker's "The Underground Gourmet" (budget-minded restaurant reviews) and "The Passionate Shopper" are staple fare, and New York's penchant for parlor-game lists ("The Ten Worst Judges...
...Texas Monthly (circ. 185,000), based in Austin, is a city magazine that covers an entire state with an enthusiasm that reflects the youth of Publisher Michael Levy, 29, and Editor William Broyles, 31. Levy, a Wharton School of business graduate who had practically no journalism experience before starting Texas Monthly, gave up the idea of confining a magazine to Houston or Dallas because neither city seemed likely to provide a circulation of 100,000-the minimum he felt he needed to succeed. Instead, three years ago, he started a magazine that would appeal to urban dwellers anywhere...
