...newspapermen despair over. Another sign of the reader's "me" emphasis is a decided preference for local news. Yet, oddly enough, even though only a third of the readership follow national and international news closely, most readers seem to want it there on Page One and tend to resent front-page feature stories. Another third of the audience would read hard news more if it were summarized better, compartmentalized like a newsmagazine, and signposted like a supermarket aisle. The remaining third of the population just want escapism; they are part of a growing number who buy papers only...

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi last week pledged "total support," but nobody knows exactly what that may mean. Many Maltese nevertheless resent the growing Libyan influence, which includes TV programs in Arabic. Unlike their Prime Minister, some of the islanders have mixed feelings about the departure of their former colonial masters. Their attitude may have been best expressed by Malta's President Dr. Anton Buttigieg, in a hymn that he and Rear...
