...ladder, which creates a vision of each other that is not conducive to coexistence. I'm not worried about whether or not we can hold on to the territories. But the price we pay worries me. Here we are, a democratic society, holding another society hostage." Uri Avneri, editor of the Tel Aviv weekly magazine Ha 'olam Hazeh, is even more outspoken. "The occupation is an unmitigated disaster for Israel. The fact that the Palestinians remain without their dignity poses a greater danger to Israeli security than any long-range benefit Israel could have from the military side...
...Americans are exempt from the ravages of inflation. In some cities, a nouveau riche class is rising: childless young couples entering professions in which salaries are shooting up. Says Mary Rothschild, 26, a Seattle editor: "A few years back when I was in school, I owned two pairs of jeans and three shirts." Now she and her lawyer-husband Peter, 30, earn $40,000 a year; they own two cars and a half-interest in a sailboat, and they eat at good restaurants frequently...

Editors deal in novelty and discovery; the negative and less talked-about side of this is knowing when to spare the reader the overfamiliar. Newsweek editors were once oddly attached to a cynical acronym, MEGO (My Eyes Glaze Over), applied to subjects they didn't want to hear more about...
...refuge in dull times is to hype a story-to make every major or minor shenanigan a Watergate (as in Koreagate, Lancegate and Hollywoodgate). Maybe you can excuse the Washington columnist or the fellow on the beat for tired coinages like that, but you shouldn't excuse the editor who prints them. An editor is always free to change a subject rather than try to inflate it. With Washington less exciting, the cover stories in the newsweeklies again range more widely, to science, medicine, entertainment and sports. Too many magazines and newspapers have also turned-to the displeasure...
