What it does want to do, however, is jam the issue so full with big names as to appeal to anyone interested in the latest gossip in all three areas. Those curious about the seamier side of the press will enjoy reading about "Ben and Sally." T.V. viewers will no doubt want to read about Walter and Walters.
