...swift undercuts setting off SN's frenzied variety. Suddenly, everyone wanted to act as host: Richard Pryor, Elliott Gould, Buck Henry, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the British satirists, and this week Dick Cavett. The writers, of course, want someone a little different: King Olav of Norway, Patty Hearst ("but we don't want to blow her defense"), Ernest and Julio Gallo with Cesar Chavez as their guest...
...combination of ultra-rightist, 19th century political values and a unique, personality-oriented, gutter-sniping editorial style, modeled on the journalistic mode of the now defunct Hearst papers, have made Loeb the best known publisher in America. His power base is the Manchester Union Leader, which he bought in 1946, the only state-wide newspaper in New Hampshire. He is also the principal owner of the New Hampshire Sunday News and the Vermont Sunday News. For a good example of where he is at stylistically--if not politically--one might turn to the New Hampshire Sunday paper's response...
Died. Eliezer ("Lou") Shainmark, 75, ingenious Hearst newspaper editor; after a long illness; in The Bronx. While night editor of the New York Journal-American in 1934, Shainmark suggested comparing handwriting samples of Suspect Bruno Richard Hauptmann with ransom notes of the kidnaper of Charles Lindbergh's slain 20-month-old son.

It was a catastrophic year for the best and the brightest, as JFK and Doris Kearns emerged with blotted copybooks, though for different reasons. Attempts to create new heroes failed miserably, despite heroic efforts in the cases of Ruben "Hurricane" Carter and Joey "Kid Blast" Gallo. And some shady characters weathered the year better than might be expected. Idi Amin, Isabel Peron, Indira Gandhi, and Stephen S.J. Hall...
...close associate. In 1926 she married Curtis B. Ball, a New York stockbroker, whom she divorced after eight years and two children. She next married John Boettiger, a Chicago Tribune correspondent and acrimonious critic of the New Deal. The couple moved to Seattle, where he became publisher of the Hearst Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and she edited the women's page and had another child. When Boettiger went into the Army in World War II, Anna returned to the White House, where F.D.R. found her company more relaxing than that of her tireless mother Eleanor. Divorced in 1949 by Boettiger...
