...Contades, 35, a Prouvost grandson-in-law who has had no previous experience in journalism. Then he drew up a list of several staffers to be dismissed. This action, he maintained, was dictated by economic necessity. And, indeed, profits had slipped somewhat before the strike. By failing to publish four issues during the strikes, Paris-Match had lost at least $1,000,000. Moreover, advertising orders had dropped, and the magazine was hard put to maintain its prestrike 1,280,000 circulation. By trimming the staff, Prouvost estimated that he could save $400,000 a year.

...second-rate. The continuity of the book is jerky, again a result of Hersey's almost total reliance on direct quotes to tell the story. Irrelevant details abound throughout the book, dissipating most of the interest aroused by the terror of the actual episode.

Planned articles: "Love Thy Label as Thyself," "The End of the Muddle Class," and "The Executive as a Dropout." Should some disciples worry that McLuhan might label himself an ordinary editor...
...producers are already restlessly expanding to other fields. In what appears to be the major trend, Crewe is moving into the production of television specials and films, and Koppelman and Rubin are preparing a musical series for network TV next fall. Morton also plans to make television shows, publish a sex magazine and, he adds, become a movie actor. Among other things, these departures may be a hedge against the danger that grows with every year that a producer ages: "cooling," or losing the golden touch. But the way they are rolling now, these producers need not worry too much...
