Damn! My birthday is this weekend. So why am I so upset? I should be happy because I'll be 21 and that means I can imbibe alcoholic beverages in every state and rent a car. But I'm scared. I read last week in Newsweek (and nowhere else) that a Brigham Young University professor has found that over 40 per cent of stiffs kick within three months of their birthdays. Wouldn't you be apprehensive if after Sunday your chances of going to you final resting place (Fathers Six) were going to increase three-fold? If this column fails...
...Newsweek, which paid $50,000 down for U.S. magazine rights before being undercut by the flagship daily of its own parent Washington Post Co., executives will wait to see how well Haldeman plays on the newsstands before figuring how much of the $75,000 balance they should pay. Times Syndicate officials, who had sold serialization rights to various publications for roughly $1 million, now estimate that, all in all, their take will be reduced by as much as $600,000.

"We have had better days," said Newsweek Editor Edward Kosner the day the Post version appeared. Katharine Graham, chairman of the parent Washington Post Co., would not comment on whether she permitted her newspaper to upstage her magazine; but obviously she had, as she had learned of the Post's acquisition the night before it was published. Her observation: "Newsweek...
...writing a novel about a book reviewer who wants to write a novel, Author Geoffrey Wolff, 40, has certainly staked out the turf he knows best. In addition to two earlier novels and a literary biography, Wolff has reviewed books for a raft of publications, including the Washington Post, Newsweek and New Times. What he does not know about the various satrapies of New York publishing is not worth hearing. So, unfortunately, is some of what he does know...
