Unlike their Western counterparts, Soviet leaders almost never meet with foreign journalists. One of the rare exceptions occurred in 1979, when Leonid Brezhnev received Time Inc. Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, TIME Managing Editor Ray Cave and Chief of Correspondents Richard Duncan for a formal interview. Last week, at the same long Kremlin table, aided by the same translator, the same three editors became the first Western newsmen to meet with Mikhail Gorbachev. What was new was the vigor and directness of the host. "Instead of delay, there was a definite aura of efficiency," said Cave. "The session...

The smaller, family-run Evening News Association, which owns the all-day Detroit News (circ. 666,949), has paid even more. It allegedly used revenues from five television and two radio stations to offset an estimated $41.5 million in losses...
...population over 50 controls three-quarters of the nation's financial assets and, with $130 billion in discretionary income, half of its spending power. "Today's elderly, especially the young elderly under 70, are a marketer's dream," says Alma Triner of Arthur D. Little Inc., a consulting firm based in Cambridge, Mass...
