Back then even the fashion press???which now seems more interested in celebrity mating habits than in the art of making beautiful clothes?used to list the textile mills where these raw materials of fashion dreams were woven. A journalist on deadline who now might be more familiar with the spelling of Lindsay Lohan's name once had to know how to spell the names of the famous fabric houses: Ratti, Bucol, Gandini, Clerici, Guigou, Mantero and, of course, Abraham, the Swiss fabric house owned by Gustav Zumsteg, the late, great textile designer who invented the stiffly finished silk gazar...
...General Westmoreland came off looking bad? In a paneled and marbled federal courtroom in Manhattan, television screens are arrayed so that judge, jury, lawyers and spectators can see replays of what CBS chose and what it disregarded. This unusual behind-the-scenes look at the editing process disturbs the press???reporters think they should be judged by their printed stories, not by their notes; television producers by the footage they used, not by rejected outtakes. Back in 1964 the Supreme Court ruled, in a case that the press hailed as a great victory, that a public figure suing for libel...
Promo men work record stores too, but it is radio that gets their best shot.

If, as RSO National Sales Manager Mitch Huffman says, "the charts are Coury's bible," then the boss is certainly not averse to applying for a revised standard version. He'll bluster, cajole, even strongarm an editor for a more...
...fact is that the presidency has so many facets that its millions of viewers ?and the world's press???can pick up just about any glint they want. Collections of these glimpses, such as Woolen's, can be accurate in detail but in the whole mosaic gravely exaggerate a President's traits while failing to consider inevitable forces of the office that require his resistance. Hardly had Powell's ire cooled than other columnists were citing certain parallels between Carter and Richard Nixon. Curiously, the Times profile of Carter as a man jealously clinging to his power, occasionally alone...
...chorus on the Kissinger incident. Alsop gloomed that the treatment of Kissinger?a product of the "enormous, Watergate-induced self-importance of the American press"?might further decrease the value of the dollar and put U.S. foreign policy "on the dung heap of disorder." Well, hardly. But the press???especially Washington newsmen?had indeed given the unfortunate impression of ganging up on the only hero in town...
