...newspapers represented at Columbia University's American Press Institute had investigative reporters. Last year, three-quarters of the same papers boasted at least one. "It's one of the hopes for this business," says Arthur Perfall, associate editor of the Long Island tabloid Newsday (circ. 427,000), a leader in the trend. Newsday has not one investigative reporter but a permanent team of four, sometimes raised to eleven for special projects. It is headed by Robert Greene, a 300-lb., 42-year-old veteran newspaperman who worked with Bobby Kennedy as a staff investigator for the Senate Rackets...
Piquant Item. The Newsday team -sometimes called "Greene's Berets" -has up to now confined itself to local targets on Long Island, but last week it considerably enlarged its scope by taking on, though in a polite and peripheral way, the most distinguished target in the country: the President of the U.S. The team's disclosures about an unusually profitable sale of some Nixon-held stocks is but a small part of an encyclopedic-indeed, numbing -70,000-word, six-part report that deals exhaustively with the Florida real estate business.

The anchor man is Bill Moyers, previously Lyndon Johnson's press secretary and publisher of Long Island's Newsday. In his opening program, Moyers covered the South Vietnamese election by talking in person to far-flung individual voters and wound up with an unexceptionable yet totally predictable and unprovocative piece of journalism. MASQUERADE, an anthology of improvisations from children's fables, was the major embarrassment of the PBS premi...
Others agreed that magazines in general were threatened. Publisher William Attwood of Newsday, who served Look as a writer, correspondent and editor for 16 years, called the magazine's demise "a real tragedy" and declared that "the Government is making it harder and harder for magazines to survive." Said Board Chairman Andrew Heiskell of Time Inc.: "It is always bad news for this country when a responsible journal is forced to close down. It is particularly bad news when that development is in part engendered by an arm of the Government-in this case the postal service, which...
