...days later, the grafitti was spray painted on the Castle walls. Later last week, a letter signed by "a founder of the Gargoyle" was sent to the Crimson and the Lampoon. The letter stated that the editor did not approve of the grafitti and would therefore resign from the editorship of the magazine...
...leave voluntarily. He was shoved out by Rupert Murdoch, the Australian press baron who had bought the Times and its sister publication the Sunday Times in 1981. And, in a nice twist, it was Murdoch who had hired Evans in the first place, luring him away from the editorship of the Sunday Times, a post he had held for 14 years...

His story opens with an endearingly manic-depressive editor who leaps naked from an eleventh-floor window before it can be determined whether the man resembles either A.M. Rosenthal or Arthur Gelb.

The piece was a high point in the eleven-year editorship of McGeorge Bundy's brother William, 65, who was a national security aide to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. William Bundy is retiring, and last week a successor in his image was named: William Hyland, 53, one of the nation's foremost Sovietologists and a national security adviser to Presidents...
