...good guy in the story is Clay Felker, editor of all three magazines. Felker took over New York, originally the Sunday supplement to the now defunct New York Herald-Tribune, when that newspaper folded in 1968, and made it into the model for slick magazines centering around a particular city. He made money too--revenues of $26 million last year. But Felker started New West last year, and spent about $2 million more than the allotted $1 million budgeted for the magazine's first year of publication; the result was four straight quarters in the red. New York stock, with...
...morning Express, with no opposition to fight, is far more respectable, although its slogan?TEXAS' GREATEST MORNING NEWSPAPER?causes derisive laughter in the city rooms of the Houston Post and the Dallas Times Herald. The Express covers local news reasonably well and runs Columnists James Reston, James J. Kilpatrick and Jack Anderson. It is no better or worse than a dozen other papers in cities of similar size. Even Murdoch finds it "a little gray...
...list of writers for whom he has provided a springboard is also impressive. As features editor of Esquire from 1957 to 1962, he helped steer Norman Mailer into reportage and published some of the first so-called New Jourrialists, most notably Tom Wolfe.

The author, director of the German General Roll of Arms, explains the code of identification that was already fiendishly complex in the 12th century. It is no use. Even introductory definitions flutter toward mystification ("Fountain. A roundel barry wavy argent and azure"). Fortunately, the book's 1,700 illustrations fill this simple information gap with a tournament of griffins rampant and bends sinister. They...
...Overture. Terry Maskin, who was outstanding in the 1976 Harvard Summer School Orchestra, showed similar mastery in the tricky English horn solo, and the trombones cut through the string filigree passages with round sonority. Even the upper string intonation was not excessively distressing, and the forte passages seemed to herald a new, aggressive, full-bodied ensemble sound...
