...Atlanta Constitution Editor Eu gene Patterson, the President's decision was in keeping with his character. The so-called change was all in the eye of the critical beholder. Because L.B.J. is inept at communicating, said Patterson, "many Americans did not believe that his silences masked rational pursuit of results, or that his conciliatory blurring of issues represented a healthier ap proach than sharpening them. So his enemies have brought down their man. They are going to miss...
...Dealer Publisher Thomas Vail, 41. A great grandson of the paper's founder, he has been the last remaining member of his family to show much interest in the daily. From the time he joined the paper in 1957, he has worked in all departments; when he became editor in 1963, he phased out oldtimers whose pace had faltered and went on a youth kick.

That is a role the present management has chosen to forgo. "By playing kingmaker," says Editor Thomas...
What, How & Where. More anti-business sentiment is found among liberal arts students than in professional schools. "The people in the business and law schools are all wrapped up in business," says Mike Conway, editor of Northwestern's Daily Northwestern. "So are the engineers, scientists, and the people whose families expect them to return to the family business. That's a very large group." According to a Stanford study by Psychology Professor Thomas W. Harrell, it is also the group best suited to business careers. "It is true," says Harrell, "that few of the best scholars enter business...
