Newspaper-strike season is upon the land. Detroit's two dailies were shut down nine weeks ago over a wage dispute that shows no signs of coming to an end. For five weeks the American Newspaper Guild has been picketing Hearst's Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, but the Herald-Examiner has hired non union personnel and continues to pub lish. Annoyed by this, out-of-work union men journeyed to San Francisco, where they set up "informational" picket lines around another Hearst paper, the San Francisco Examiner. Mailers, who had been negotiating with the Examiner, promptly walked...
Glenn, on leave from the board chairmanship of Royal Crown International, retraced Henry Stanley's 1,000-mile trek, from Bagamoyo to Ujiji, in what is now Tanzania. The New York Herald headline hunter took 71 months to reach Missionary David Livingstone in 1871. Glenn made it in 51 weeks by foot, rail and Land-Rover.

The offending column, written by Flora Lewis, appeared the same day as an unrelated wire service story reporting that Wilson had won an out-of-court settlement from The Move, a rock 'n' roll group. To promote a new record, the group had circulated a postcard showing Wilson nude on a bed with a woman labeled "Harold's very personal secretary." Wilson won an apology plus more...
...reporting the Prime Minister's suit against the International Herald Tribune, British newspapers were compelled to be even more oblique. All the Daily Telegraph felt able to say, for example, was that the "Prime Minister's solicitors confirm that, when in New York on other matters," Wilson's counsel, Lord Goodman, "agreed to attend a meeting of lawyers to discuss the possibility of disposing by agreed settlement the serious legal complaint made by the Prime Minister against an international publication...
