...again last week, for Cronkite on the network's flagship early-evening newscast. This season, Reasoner has been a mainstay on 60 Minutes, a Tuesday-night television newsmagazine that ap pears every other week and on which he alternates quarter-hour features with Mike Wallace. This week rival NBC is paying it the supreme compliment - imitation at twice the length - by launching a two-hour monthly magazine of its own called First Tuesday...
...social being divides his allegiance among a wide assortment of groups. The state, of course, is one, the family another. In between, there wheels a boundless galaxy of personal commitments and involvements, from the church committee to the golf club, all of which make rival membership claims on the individual and also serve to define who, what and where...

Daniel ("Danny the Red") Cohn-Bendit, their principal leader last spring, has been banished from France, and no one has taken his place. The students are now badly splintered into rival groups.

Otis Chandler's nonunion and increasingly automated Los Angeles Times, a bit beset by federal antitrust action, feels more comfortable with a rival around. For a time, it helped Hearst print his strike-bound paper. Mayor Sam Yorty, a Democrat of sorts, put city hall on Hearst's side. "I think the unions should get wise to themselves," he said. "They're putting the newspapers out of business." More important...
