...Teamster-oriented papers found that they could not absorb such featherbedding, and shut down. That left one paper, the Daily Press, still in business. How long is anybody's guess, since the Teamsters are insisting that the Press alone hire all their out-of-work members. Meanwhile, management of the two struck regular dailies and the unions are not even talking...
There is talking in Los Angeles, but not much. "We're a helluva long way from anything yet," says a Guild spokesman. Aggrieved that they are paid one of the lowest minimums of any sizable paper in the country ($174.80 a week after five years), Guildsmen seek a $25.20-a-week raise over two years. Management has offered $13 over the same period. The longer the strike drags on, the more nonunion personnel the Herald-Examiner hires to put out the paper. It is not much different from the usual one. It skimps on local news, runs...
Nuggets of New Leftism. As in Detroit, interim papers have popped up in San Francisco, but they have not done very well. The Stanford Daily, which had added wire-service copy and increased its press run, gave up last week. The Berkeley student paper, the Daily Californian, is still struggling.

After months of planning, the New York Daily News decided last week not to publish an afternoon paper after all. For the most part, advertising-agency executives had liked the six-column, standard-size dummy; union officials promised not to be obstructive. But that was not enough for the combined directors of the News and the Chicago Tribune. Said Executive Vice President Winfield H. James: "An analysis of all the complex factors proved, in the end, to be discouraging. When rising costs were measured against potential advertising and circulation revenues, it became clear that the projected newspaper would...
...three families that have owned the paper since 1867-the Noyeses, the Kauffmanns, the Adamses-put their heads together and decided to do something about it. In 1963, Newbold Noyes was named editor, with a mandate to spend money on a topnotch staff. As a result, today's Star is again a newspaper worth reading, without sacrificing its urbane, low-keyed style. It manages to keep up with fast-breaking news and avoid the big, overblown headlines and shoddy sensationalism too often endemic to the afternoon. The Star is still the No. 2 paper in Washington, but in almost...
