Subversive Interpretation. As Illich told it to New York Times Religion Editor Edward B. Fiske, the outcome in the musty Vatican basements was a standoff. He refused to take an oath of secrecy, refused to answer questions un til a list of charges had been presented to him. When the "charges" finally appeared, they turned out to be a list of 85 questions under such headings as "Weird Conceptions about the Clergy in the Church," and "Subversive Interpretation Concerning the Liturgy and Ecclesiastical Discipline." Sample question: "How do you respond to those who present you as petulant, adventurous, imprudent, fanatical...
What a coup! Magazines sold out on newsstands across the country. How did Esquire do it? In a manner worthy of a tight-lipped Hughes aide, Editor Harold Hayes huffed, "I think I must elect not to discuss it at all." No wonder. The man and woman are models. The photos, shot in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., are to draw attention to a story on Hughes by a reporter who spent two months on the assignment and-like all other reporters-got not a single glimpse...
...enlightened Southern editor waging his fearless and lonely fight against prejudice has become a journalistic stereotype. Yet the death last week of the Atlanta Constitution's Ralph McGill, two days before his 71st birthday, was a painful reminder of just how rare such men are. For four decades his daily column caressed the South with his love, lashed it for its faults, served as its conscience.

Yet McGill, a Tennessee-born farm boy who always seemed embarrassed by his worldwide acclaim, preferred to think of himself as a reporter. Once a sportswriter, he later covered Hitler's invasion of Austria, the Nürnberg war-crime trials, 18 national political conventions-and he could also be seen scrambling through smoke-choked buildings on fire stories. Indeed, as the Constitution's editor, and particularly...
Popping Bennies. For one thing, a hang-up on work. A spasmodic, frenetic editor who refused to delegate authority, Hefner used to go on "work binges," during which he would labor for as long as 72 hours at a stretch, eating practically nothing, swigging Pepsi-Colas (25 a day) and popping bennies. "I developed a tremendous tolerance for amphetamines," he says. "My weight dropped from 175 lbs. to 135 lbs. It was a way of living not well calculated to be either lengthy or pleasant. I finally woke up to the fact that I had the world by the tail...
