...less orthodox an author than the late Cambridge Don C.S. Lewis was untroubled by the prospect of life elsewhere. Writing in the Christian Herald two decades ago, he saw no reason why the eternal Son of God could not also have been incarnate in other worlds, or why God could not devise a totally different form of redemption. Lewis also predicted that if life ever were found elsewhere, every one would find new arguments for beliefs they already held. Something like that seems to be happening among the few religious writers who are addressing the implications of life Out There...
...Times has not had to worry much about its home-town competition. The Hearst Corp., five months ago, hired ex-Washington Star Editor Jim Bellows to revive its long flaccid Herald-Examiner (circ. 331,000). Bellows has softened the paper's eye-straining makeup, imported hot-blooded young writers and editors from the East, hired David Frost's girlfriend, Caroline Gushing, to write gossip items, is about to launch a graphically dramatic Sunday photo magazine, and is even thinking about changing the paper's name back to the simpler Examiner.

Leonard Saffir, the paper's founder, publisher and editor in chief, blamed the severe winter for hampering distribution and timorous department stores for failing to advertise in the tabloid. "It was the community that put this paper out of business," fumed Saffir in a farewell address...
...think it's a great trade," said Cliff Keane of the Boston Herald-American as he popped the top off a beer and sat down at a table with some other sportswriters and Red Sox coaches. "Locke-Ober South," the food-and-drink bar set up in the press lounge, was keeping the sportswriters all juiced...
