Nelan was greatly helped in organizing the meeting by TIME'S Felix Rosenthal, a resident of Moscow and a Soviet citizen, who reports that the week had more stress and excitement than any other he has experienced since starting with Time Inc. in 1963. Said Rosenthal: "Representing an American organization puts me between the hammer and the sickle." As for Nelan, he was left with one lasting impression. Working out the protocol and the complications of the interview, he says diplomatically, "gave me new insights into the problems of finishing up the SALT treaty...
...Dominican corvette now guards the site as plaudits pile up from other sea hunters. Admits Jacques Cousteau: "I would have liked to discover it myself." Melvin Fisher, president of Key West's Treasure Salvors Inc., calls the Concepción "a fabulous find, a major discovery," but he cautions that Phips may have virtually exhausted the treasure after all. For now, Webber can afford to shrug off any doubts. His backers' investment of $500,000, he reports, "is already covered."

...Time Inc., which had bought the Star last February from Texas Financier Joe L. Allbritton, found the paper's condition to be shakier than anticipated. The Star was $10 million in the red in 1978, and losses of $16 million were projected for 1979.

Bardsley: "This trend continued through 1978 even when they knew of the change in the law." Pitney-Bowes, Inc., abolished mandatory retirement last April 1. Since then, 105 of its workers have retired on or before their 65th birthday, and only ten have chosen to keep working more than a few months past that age. Singer Co., which long has had a mandatory retirement age of 68, finds...
...sure, Bolles' death and the ensuing investigation by the newly-formed Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc. has resulted in some positive, if limited, improvements in Arizona. The state's governor, Raul Castro, although ostensibly for other reasons, resigned after the IRE team uncovered consistent misbehavior on Castro's part--including charges of using state police guards as servants, pressuring state officials to give building contracts to political cronies, and befriending and accepting campaign contributions from reputed mobsters and the millionaire liquor dealer suspected ot engineering Bolles's murder. In contrast, the state's new governor, 40-year-old Bruce Babbitt...
