Bernstein was known as an able and popular journalist in his ten years at Newsweek, first as national affairs editor and later as managing editor. Before that he had spent five years as an NBC public affairs executive and ten years as a writer, correspondent and editor at TIME. At Newsweek he is expected to steady both the editorial product and declining office morale. In a chatty, upbeat memo to the staff, he promised "some changes in tone, emphasis and operating style." Given his age and Graham's habit of replacing executives unexpectedly, Bernstein may turn...
...unclear, and unimportant, whether Newman actually knows anything about boxing. He does know a lot about journalism, and some of his best gibes are about television and the press, including one notable satire of a team of excessively cheery newscasters. This is only to be expected from a veteran NBC correspondent who has spent a large part of his life on-camera, as one punchy character says about a TV anchorman, "standing in front of a government building and saying that only time would tell...
...actionable. Radio stations across the country generally played uncensored interviews with the Congressmen who overheard Carter's statement. A few television newscasts, though, avoided mention of the indelicate word.

She interviewed several of Baker's colleagues at the New York Times, close friends like NBC Anchorman John Chancellor and Author David Halberstam, and a number of other leading humorists, including S.J. Perelman and, in a sense, Benjamin Franklin. (Franklin was the nation's first regularly published humor columnist, and Rudulph dug up an early example of his work.) "Everybody was happy to discuss Baker...
...aggressive guy we brought in from Notre Dame." He discussed the basketball banquet at Quincy Market, where Reardon announced that about $1 million of the projected $2.5 million needed for a new 3500-seat facility was already in the coffers. He even talked about how former Marquette coach (now NBC commentator) Al McGuire had publicly berated him (on behalf of friend McLaughlin) for the small number of seats, and how President Bok had put a napkin in front of his face at the remark...
