...great pride in the stature and reputation for integrity that The Rand Daily Mail enjoys throughout the world. The American National Press or "Emperor" award for 1966 went to The Mail, South Africa's most widely read morning publication, and the paper still carries the award emblem above the masthead each day. The same front page, however, carries a box every day with the name of the Editor, Raymond Lauw; of each editorial writer for that day and of the newsman who wrote all the day's headlines...
...CHINA'S FUTURE. When I say that there will soon be a high tide of revolution in China, I am emphatically not speaking of something illusory, unattainable . . .

Peretz's first year at The New Republic was also marked by conflict with his editor-in-chief Gilbert Harrison, ending with Harrison's resignation in January. It is not unusual that the new owner of a magazine should change the masthead. What is unusual is that Peretz and Harrison agreed to sell Peretz The New Republic for $380,000. Then they drew up an ill-conceived and ambiguous contract that allowed the former owner to stay on as editor-in-chief and that caused immediate quarrels over who would control the magazine...
