Thus it was with some gravitas of his own that Sunday Editor Max Frankel last week summoned his top associates to lunch and proposed a toast: "To the Sunday department." It was a farewell salute; he informed them that the Sunday operation, after more than 50 years of autonomy, was being combined immediately with the daily paper under Managing Editor A.M. ("Abe") Rosenthal, 54. Frankel...
Times staffers, whose assiduity in reporting on in-house power shifts can rival that which they display on their own beats, lost no time proposing Kremlinological explanations. The first instant replay went: "Max lost, Abe won." Relations between the two had known points of strain since Frankel moved up from Washington bureau chief three years ago to command the Sunday edition.

Because they often use the rules to trample the truth, Frankel has gently proposed thinking about such startling changes as requiring attorneys to disclose anything they learn from a client that clearly bears on his guilt, encouraging judges...
...sorely troubled by his wife's job, he later hinted to newsmen that he had asked her to resign. A family friend put it more bluntly: "He has given her an ultimatum." Would she quit? Marion "wants time, a quiet time, to think about her position," said Marvin Frankel, a top executive at Ruder & Finn, her public relations firm...
