...book's publishers, Stewart Richardson, a former editor in chief of Doubleday Publishing, and Hy Steirman, the former owner of what was once the Paperback Library, incorporated in January. Richardson, who had previously obtained a book on foreign policy by Leonid Brezhnev, originally suggested similar works from Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko, both of whom died before they could complete their oeuvres. Negotiations for the Gorbachev book were completed in Moscow in September and were conducted without the knowledge of American authorities. The book was translated from Russian in Moscow, but will not be published there. The first printing...
John Paul surprised the bishops last January with his call for the synod, allowing a mere ten months for planning. Many observers think the meeting will be too brief and ill prepared to do more than celebrate Vatican II's accomplishments. Still, says Father Paul White, editor of Boston's archdiocesan weekly, the Pilot, "the Pope didn't call this for nothing...
That is precisely what worries some of John Paul's critics.

A onetime disk jockey and former associate managing editor of the Seattle Times, Anderson, then 30, had never run a newspaper. Anderson, in fact, had not even heard of the Register...
While Threshie limited the paper's disdain for excessive government interference to the editorial page, Editor Anderson cleaned up the paper's format by reducing the cluttered eight-column pages to six and laying out stories in easy-to-read rectangular units instead of the traditional vertical strips. Anderson also ran much more news about Orange County, an 800-sq.-mi. sprawl of 26 municipalities and scores of towns, with a population of more than 2 million...
