Mayor Hatcher of Gary has the right to repeat his litany of complaints about his home-town newspaper. He and TIME ought to make sure his complaints are factual before printing them. Unfortunately, Hatcher's two examples of the Post-Tribune's "unfairness" to him are false. He says the paper "never even wrote the story" about a study of municipal fiscal policy where Gary came out No. 1. The Post-Tribune did publish two stories. Hatcher also complains, "I was just re-elected with 90% of the vote. After the election the Post-Tribune wrote...
...Iraq, that claims 3 million followers. Furthermore, the two Nashville businessmen admittedly had little wealth, but refused to discuss the financing of their purchase of U.P.I. Insisted Ruhe at the time: "No one is behind us." As an unintended admission of unpopularity, that statement was uncomfortably true: their home-town Nashville Banner immediately dropped U.P.I, because of the furor...
Looking as fresh as if she had just completed an afternoon stroll, Home-Town Favorite Joan Benoit, 25, glided across the finish line of the 87th Boston Marathon in the time of 2:22:42. That was almost three minutes faster than the previous women's record for the distance, held jointly by New Zealand's Allison Roe and Norway's Crete Waitz.

Instead, in an ever changing series of advertisements that all carry the same message, he drives home the lesson that municipal bonds can pay hefty returns to people who earn $50,000 a year or more. In one memorable commercial earlier this year, for instance, Lebenthal was seen holding paper cows made out of folded bond certificates. "We've been selling a cow that instead of milk gives money," he declares in his precise, didactic tone. "So put a little moola...
This has not been a banner year for the Cowles Media Co., the Minneapolis-based media empire that owns four daily and 16 weekly newspapers, two television stations and one cable TV system. Last April, declining profits prompted the company to merge its two home-town newspapers, both ranked among the best of the medium-size dailies in the U.S. The afternoon Star, which had undergone a steady circulation slide to 170,000, was folded into its matutinal sister, the Tribune (circ. 240,000). The merger cost 110 jobs, including 50 from the editorial staffs. Last month Cowles closed...
