...Bulletin's biggest problem was the morning Inquirer. Acquired by the Knight-Ridder chain in 1970, the Inquirer was for several years after that on the verge of extinction. At its low point in 1975 the paper lost millions as circulation dipped to 401,000. Had the Bulletin started a morning edition then, the Inquirer might have folded. But instead the Bulletin stood pat while the Inquirer built a national reputation under Executive Editor Gene Roberts. Winning six consecutive Pulitzer Prizes, the Inquirer outfoxed, outspent and outclassed its rival. Roberts even managed to wrest away Doonesbury, the popular comic...
...Bulletin's demise leaves Philadelphia solely to Knight-Ridder, which also publishes the afternoon Daily News (circ. 223,000). The Inquirer, which has an editorial staff of 330 and eight national and foreign bureaus, is planning a major expansion in the wake of the Bulletin's closing. New bureaus will be opened in Boston, New Orleans, Cairo, Nairobi, New Delhi and London, and Roberts plans to hire at least 50 new reporters and editors, many from the Bulletin. Says he: "We feel that the Bulletin's death puts a rather awesome responsibility on us as a survivor...
...knows Norman is not the crotchety old coot he appears. Rather, he is a wonderfully warm fellow who happens to be obsessed with death. Norman and Ethel are, of course, very much in love.

...outgoing Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson, 43, last week by his admirers at a teary farewell dinner in the Georgia capital. Jackson has served the two four-year terms that local law allows. Among the 1,300 friends who turned up for the $100-a-plate affair were Singer Gladys Knight, and former U.N. Ambassador and Atlanta Mayor-elect Andrew Young. "I don't know that anybody's going to fill your shoes," said Young as he surveyed Jackson's ample 6-ft. 3-in. frame. "And certainly not your suits...
...occasional smack in the puss-Sylvester J. Pussycat, to be precise. There is much unfettered mirth here from the rest of the Warner menagerie: from Bugs, the Cagney of lagomorphs, who plays Galahad and slickshooter to the splenetic Yosemite Sam in two of the best shorts (Knighty Knight Bugs, Wild and Woolly Hare); from the hugely talented Daffy Duck as a reluctant egg layer (Golden Yeggs); from Granny, Tweety Pie and a sternutating dragon. Freleng is no match for the great cartoon directors, Chuck Jones (Road Runner) and Tex Avery (Droopy Dog). Still, there are more than enough in-spite...
