...time. In addition to coping with all the news that's fit to print, he has a lot of personnel problems to sort out-the running status struggle, for instance, between the New York office and the Washington bureau that culminated in the abrupt appointment of James Greenfield as Washington bureau chief last February and his equally abrupt dismissal when Washington, led by Reston, protested.

The Salisbury idea was dropped-temporarily. Eight months ago, the paper hired James Greenfield, a former Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs (and onetime TIME correspondent) who had resigned in 1966 as an assistant vice president of Continental Airlines. Greenfield was promised a "major job," and in due course Managing Editor Daniel and Assistant Managing Editor Rosenthal, backed by Publisher Arthur Ochs ("Punch...
