...they are. "When I call the office," says Toni, who covers women in politics for the Milwaukee Sentinel, "I go over to a neighbor's house or do it while Ray is walking the dog." Her husband, an assistant city editor on Milwaukee's other paper, the Journal, is even more secretive. The McBrides recently lost a relative of some prominence-he was mayor of Green Bay-but Toni did not know it until she read the Journal. Ray kept the news from her until his paper had the obituary in print...
Different Hangouts. A competitive spirit strong enough to affect husband and wife is not only rare, it is practically unheard of where newspaper competition among publishers does not exist at all. Since 1962 the Sentinel has belonged to the Journal, which bought it for $3,000,000 from the Hearst newspaper chain. Until then, the morning Sentinel had seemed content to play listless second fiddle to the long-dominant evening paper, which has 384,000 daily circulation to the Sentinel's 170,000.

After the merger, the Journal hands who crossed over-among them Assistant Managing Editor Harvey W. Schwandner, now the Sentinel's executive editor-were told that the last thing Dutch Maier wanted was a morning edition of the Journal. "No other two-paper operation that I know about," says Lindsay Hoben, Journal editor and vice president, "grants the autonomy that our papers have." The facts bear him out. Last year...
Today, far from feeling inferior to the Journal, the Sentinel feels only challenged. "It's more fun being second, I think," says Sentinel Women's Editor Coleen Dishon, who, like her husband, voluntarily shifted over from the Journal. "Like Avis, we try harder...
