Whether this sort of fare could guarantee King a place for his Sun was a question for which only time-and King's millions-could find the answer. But the odds are against it. Fleet Street is contracting rather than growing. Six popular papers have vanished in the last five years, and daily readership is down 600,000 since...
...would have taken a Will Rogers-Mark Twain partnership to turn the Democrats' smoothly controlled convention into compelling TV fare. But even if the intellectual or emotional content had been higher, the networks' tactics of rushing reporters hither and yon would have confused the viewer. The trouble, argues Cronkite, lies with the networks' "efforts to stay competitive at the cost of telling a cohesive story."

In a drive to get his railroad out of the red, Oeftering last week was preparing a plan to pare its welfare load, revamp its crazy-quilt fare structure, and get fresh government capital to retire its debt, which costs $130 million a year in interest. His plan will probably be derailed by Chancellor Ludwig Erhard's administration, but Oeftering hopes to gain at least some mileage. Battling to make the state road run more like private industry, he relaxes from his work in the basement of his modest Frankfurt home, where...
