...Times, it is true, did produce two dummy papers. The second and more ambitious of the two efforts was called, somewhat imposingly, the New York Forum. A 40-page paper all in one section, it still put considerable emphasis on hard news...
...Post's circulation has climbed from 400,000 to 700,-000. It has added a few columnists, such as William F. Buckley Jr., Ann Landers and Evans & Novak, plus the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post news service. It has also added an ex tra page or two of news, though its coverage still seems sparse and its typography is fuzzy.

The darker emotions-fury, despair, guilt-pour through all of his works, but Styron himself projects the reserved, slightly courtly manner of the storybook Virginian. It is a coincidence that his book should come on the heels of the summer riots. While Styron does not condone the violence, he views it through a chilling perspective sharpened by his five years with Nat Turner. The Negro extremist, says Styron, "is purifying himself by violence of a sense of his own abject self-ratedness...
