...Kauffmanns, the Adamses-put their heads together and decided to do something about it. In 1963, Newbold Noyes was named editor, with a mandate to spend money on a topnotch staff. As a result, today's Star is again a newspaper worth reading, without sacrificing its urbane, low-keyed style. It manages to keep up with fast-breaking news and avoid the big, overblown headlines and shoddy sensationalism too often endemic to the afternoon. The Star is still the No. 2 paper in Washington, but in almost any other city it would rank...
Encouraging Eccentricity. Top jobs at the Star are filled by Noyeses and Kauffmanns, but on the reporter level there are plenty of promising newcomers. Haynes Johnson has a knack for conveying the nuances of national mood; after a swing around the U.S. last November, when polls showed presidential popularity low and dropping, he concluded that there was unrest and a yearning for strong leadership but also an undercurrent of sympathy for the President. Smith Hempstone covered the Middle East war with lyrical intensity, highlighting particularly the plight of the Arab victims. Political Writer Paul Hope showed a keen...
Last week she rounded off a series of three appearances in a production of La Traviata created for her at the Frankfurt Opera. It was a lusty performance that emphasized the low-life origins of the heroine (who in the Dumas novel went from waif to courtesan to wreck within eight years). Silja contributed considerably to that characterization with a tense, far-ranging voice (31 octaves) and a spectacular stage presence that can flash with the music's mood from tigress to tragedienne. The ultimate tribute to the Silja Traviata was apparent immediately after each performance; at the Frankfurt...
Last week was more of the same-much more. Granted, Alcindor was not at his best: he had injured an eye in a game the week before, and his shooting percentage from the field-four out of 18-was unbelievably low. But Hayes had the range. In the first half alone he scored 29 points (out of his team's 46), with delicate jump shots and driving, twisting lay-ups. Only the long-distance accuracy of U.C.L.A.'s Lucius Allen, who scored 16 in the first half and 25 in all, kept the Bruins in the game...
...could be traced to the fact that it had decided to write off its entire inventory of obsolescent machines and concentrate on a new copier called the Super-Stat. President Clayton Rautbord, 40, also increased his company's sales force. The payoff has been handsome. A compact, relatively low-cost ($985) machine, the Super-Stat has caught on where the company's earlier dry-process copiers foundered. Last week Rautbord announced record 1967 sales of $35,618,000. Even more important was the black ink-a profit...
