William Oscar Saunders was in the old tradition: a personal journalist, a high-horsed crusader, a one-man crowd. For 30 years, as editor-publisher of a rural North Carolina weekly, he unremittingly fought graft, corruption, red-neck segregationists, pharisees of all kinds-and some 60 libel suits. Last week, in a book entitled The Independent Man, Saunders' only son, Keith, 52, now an aviation writer in Washington, recalls the turbulent career of one of the last of an all but vanished American journalistic breed.

...heat bred serpents and other monsters out of the mud of the Nile. With The Blue Nile, this ancient river of mystery has now been made the object of two studies that employ all the modern arts of research to dispel myths and muddy misconceptions.

Delving further into the small print of Debrett's Peerage, Hall emerged with another proposition, published last week with a statistical breakdown...
Matronly and shrill, Aggie seems an anomaly in the Herald-Examiner's mannish, prankish city room. But in her 36 years as a journalist (30 on the Herald-Examiner, 15 as its city editor), Aggie has kept such a muscular grip on the news of L.A.'s seamy side that no one thinks of the greying grandmother as an interloper in a man's world. Years away from her reputation as the town's best crime reporter, she still keeps up a running dialogue with the underworld that helps her paper to impressive scoops...
