...unlike their two predecessors, they are not former newsmen (Heiskell began as a science editor at LIFE and Shepley served as Washington bureau chief for TIME). The new top executives emphasized, however, that they would retain Time Inc.'s commitment to quality publishing. "I'm not a journalist, but I've got ink in my veins too," says Munro. "It's the magazine group that makes this company different." While publisher of TIME, Davidson worked closely with the editors in the magazine's development...
