Her managing editor, 39-year-old Harold A. Davis, came from the Daily News, as did several Newsday reporters. In the last elections she borrowed the Daily News idea of a "Battle Page."* Her biggest help came from the Daily News's late great promotion wizard, Max Annenberg. Max coached her on all the tricks of the trade, got her a general manager, William Mapel, ex-managing editor...
