Exactly one year after it began, the eleven-union strike against the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner is technically a stalemate. Publisher George R. Hearst Jr., 41, grandson of the crusading William Randolph, still directs a staff of strike breakers inside his boarded-up building. Behind other barricades just a block away, some 50 strikers still gather each day to dispense food and subsistence checks, plot strategy and pounce hopefully on every rumor of Hearst's troubles. Actually, the strike is over-and the clear winner is George Hearst...
...noted action-intellectual, he has withdrawn to Mexico to write his memoirs "in the vein of Sir Harold Nicolson or Santayana or Bertrand Russell." He deals at length with his patchwork life; his fundamentalist upbringing, his Rhodes scholar days, his unorthodox interpretation of John Locke, a stint for Hearst in Spain, wartime service with the OSS, and his views on F.D.R., Comte, Proudhon, Marx and Tocqueville. But then Mosby decides that his memoir needs a touch of humor...
Most of the Hearst papers, including the San Francisco Examiner, may return to the Republican fold. John Knight's seven newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press, the Miami Herald and the Charlotte Observer, have not yet endorsed a candidate, but it seems likely that they will support Nixon, even though they have been rather dovish on the war.

Since its first happy years with the 'Poonies, the lbis, sometimes known as Threskie, has had several leaves of absence, many of them accountable to a century-long feud between the Harvard Crimson and the Harvard Lampoon. It has been stolen twice this year already, and has just returned to its perch. Now Lampoon members are threatening a 125-volt battery to fry anyone who gets playful with their pet in the future...
...much of a cliché to be true? Not quite. It is exactly what the first issue of Eye, a new Hearst magazine, has to offer. The latest in a line of Hearst magazines (Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar), Eye is the first to peer exclusively at youth. It boasts a stripling management, sort of: Editor Susan Edmiston, who used to write a teen column, is 27; Executive Editor Howard Smith, who writes for the Village Voice, is 31. Its staff is also young and intrepid, sort of. A writer-photographer team jumped with the skydivers; another photographer...
