Israel leaked the fact that Young and Terzi had met to Newsweek magazine. That prompted a query to the State Department. This was the first that Foggy Bottom had heard of the matter and Young was asked for an explanation. His story: he had been out strolling with his son, decided to stop in to see Bishara, and there accidentally found Terzi, with whom he engaged in nothing more than "15 or 20 minutes of social amenities." Later, when this account was branded a lie, Young did some semantic acrobatics. "I did not lie, I didn't tell...
Once as somber as the Federal Register, the Journal is now sprinkled with photographs and cartoons. This concession to the 20th century was engineered by Sullivan, former assistant publisher of Newsweek International, who was brought in four years ago by Anthony C. Stout, one of the Journal's founders and chairman of its parent company. Sullivan has loosened the magazine in other ways as well. An understated but chatty "People" section keeps readers posted on the doings of Government and media luminaries, and an "Update" column concisely covers developments along such news-fronts as national health insurance, coal-burning...
...Kennedy stories, as were the two major wire services, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Gannett newspapers and many others.

Kosner, a graduate of New York's City College, became editor in 1975, after twelve years at the magazine. He learned of his dismissal only the afternoon before, during a stormy, 2½-hour meeting with Graham and Newsweek President Peter Derow. He was described as shocked, but associates said that he may have missed subtle signals of Graham's displeasure. Under Kosner's predecessor, Osborn Elliott, now dean of Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism, Newsweek was briefly known on Madison Avenue as a "hot book" because of improved editorial vitality and attendant advertising...
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...
