Conniff is confident, however, that once his paper gets into print, it will provide a bright commentary on New York. "This is a lively town," he says, "and we're going to reflect it." For foreign coverage, the World Journal will rely on the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service. Like both its predecessors, the paper will depend on newsstand sales-which means large eye-catching headlines. But with the Journal and Telegram no longer vying with each other in sensationalism, Conniff hopes to make his combined paper more reflective and responsible...

Except for Murray Kempton and one or two others, most of the two papers' apparently inexhaustible supply of columnists will somehow find elbow room.

Last year Trib advertising revenue showed an encouraging...
Weldon James, an associate editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, made sure that his readers knew exactly how he felt. "I quit," he wrote in a signed editorial published last week. "I resign." He and his paper, he went on to explain, had come to a parting of the ways over Viet Nam. "The Courier-Journal is no appeaser," he wrote, "no advocate of U.S. withdrawal, but it does not speak with the sharpness I believe the continuing crisis demands...
