...seventh day, Long Island's Newsday always rested, secure in the knowledge that on the other six, its 450,000 circulation covered two out of every three homes on the island. No more. Last weekend Newsday begat Sunday Newsday, complete with separate sections for commentary, entertainment, sports, comics and a slick local four-color magazine titled L.I. The management expects to sell 500,000 Sunday copies, mostly at the expense of three competitors that previously carved up the Long Island Sunday field among them: the New York Daily News, Long Island Press and New York Times. One year...
...them, to work full-time searching for exposés. Some notable scoops have resulted. LIFE, for instance, revealed connections between Abe Fortas and Financier Louis Wolfson, who was later imprisoned, that eventually forced Fortas to resign from the Supreme Court. A team working for the Long Island paper Newsday counts 21 indictments, seven convictions and 30 resignations of public officials and businessmen as a result of its stories. Other journalistic sleuths have won national recognition for local digging; in the past four years, exposes of harbor-commission bribery (George Reasons of the Los Angeles Times) and of shoddy practices...
Omission. While the Times usually sticks to one page for special features, Long Island's Newsday and the Washington Post have moved toward full feature sections covering the arts, the media, lifestyles, personalities of both sexes-all under one umbrella. These papers run paragons of what women's sections can become. Newsday's "Part II," with an assist from its tabloid format, reads much like a newsmagazine.

Two days after the sale, said Newsday, the house was leased to the Government for use by the Secret Service at an annual rent of $18,000. With options, the lease runs for almost eight years realizing "a possible total of $142,500" for Abplanalp. Mrs. O'Neal told Newsday that the Government had never offered...
...Libel. The choice of subject matter for its recent series indicates that Newsday's investigative team may henceforth range much more widely. Its first effort, in 1967, was an exposé of town government in Islip, N.Y.; and the reporters were soon delving into all sorts of scandal and shoddy practices that afflicted fast-growing Long Island. During its first 41 years, the team accumulated an enviable record: it won 17 awards, including a 1970 Pulitzer Prize. Its disclosures led directly to the indictment of 21 persons, the conviction of seven and the resignation of 30 public officials...
