...cannot say." The only explanation Annenberg offered came in a prepared statement: "With the passing of my only son, there is no likely possibility of family transference, and hence my desire to ensure a future ownership in which I have confidence." This posed more questions than it answered. For one thing, Annenberg's son died in 1962. Why wait so long to sell...
Near Monopoly. One possible factor: Annenberg may have feared trouble with the Federal Communications Commission. His Triangle Publications company owns several television and radio stations, as well as TV Guide, Seventeen magazine, the Morning Telegraph and the Daily Racing Form. Renewal of Triangle's license to operate WFIL-TV in Philadelphia has been opposed by a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, Milton Shapp. He claimed last July that Triangle exercised "a near news monopoly in the Philadelphia area," and that under Annenberg's direction, news had been "censored, omitted, twisted, distorted and used for personal vengeance."

In that, George Pratt Shultz stands in sharp contrast to his activist Democratic predecessors, Arthur Goldberg and Willard Wirtz, who intervened frequently if reluctantly at Lyndon Johnson's behest. Before last week's strike against General Electric, Shultz held private meetings with company officials and union leaders. He has quietly helped to cool several other labor disputes, particularly in the airlines. But he firmly opposes direct and heavily publicized intervention. "We want the free...
