Every salaried newsman, they say, dreams of some day buying his own little newspaper. For New York Times Columnist James Reston, the dream has come true. Last week he announced that he had purchased the Vineyard Gazette (average circ. 5,900), the 122-year-old weekly that serves the resort island of Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
