...American daily newspapers began to huddle in chains during the 1950s. During that period, a morning newspaper might buy its afternoon rival to consolidate costs, creating monopoly, or what A. J. Liebling called "profitable stagnation." The news that gets reported may not be all that's fit to print; sometimes it may be, like Pravda, what the monopolist decides is news...
...other school, of which I, as a lecture reviewer, am a part, says that lectures fill a cultural gap that books or television can't meet. A lecture provides a chance to hear from people who could never make it into print or onto the air.

He threatened to have Fiat, the Italian megacompany that owns La Stampa, put on the Arab boycott list unless it fired the paper's Jewish editor, Arrigo Levi. Fiat Chairman Giovanni Agnelli stood by Levi, and the matter was forgotten. Time and oil money, however, can change the political-economic balance of power, and last week Levi had a new story to print. Agnelli announced that he is taking...
