...working in class, bolstering Kellerman, living the bachelor life with Towne, scuffling for the odd acting job in low-budget melodramas like The Little Shop of Horrors or TV shows like Divorce Court ("I was the most unabashed corespondent in town"), Nicholson found time to court Actress Sandra Knight. The couple got married in 1962. "We were very much in love, and I took the vows totally at ease," Nicholson says, confessing at the same time to a "secret inner pressure about monogamy."

...Herman Ridder, a German immigrant who acquired a German-language daily in New York in 1890; though Ridder owns the New York Journal of Commerce, its other properties are located in Western states. Says Bernard H. Ridder Jr., 57, who would continue to run the papers as a Knight-Ridder subsidiary: "The merger logic is simple.

...pork-belly plain compendium of business news; Colorado's folksy Boulder Daily Camera (circ. 22,380); and the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch, which occasionally outshines its bigger Twin City sisters. In general, however, the Ridder papers do not have the heft and influence of the Knight dailies. Though the Knight brothers are both conservatives, the papers are what Hills describes as "central progressive." In the 1972 election six Knight papers endorsed Richard Nixon and two backed George McGovern; only two echoed John Knight's own position, which was that he would not support either candidate...

...Knights and their editors do seem to agree on one point: that the papers should play a forceful role in the communities they serve. The Philadelphia Inquirer, once a model of police-blotter journalism, has become an important voice in local issues since Knight took it over in 1969. And in Florida the bribery and perjury charges lodged against Senator Edward Gurney last week were a direct result of dogged reporting by Knight's Miami Herald...
