...York Times's sprawling headquarters on Manhattan's West 43rd Street, Executive Editor Abe Rosenthai gathered some top staff members to announce what he described as a "very good" development: "We're going to have some better competition here in New York City." Downtown, at the offices of the scrappy but financially hemorrhaging New York Post, Australian Publisher Rupert Murdoch was not quite so cheery...
Mollenhoff is in a tiny minority within the trade. Stanford Smith, president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, and A.M. Rosenthai, managing editor of the New York Times, were among those arguing for absolute protection of confidential sources and unpublished material. "I say flatly," Rosenthal contended, "that without the guarantee of confidentiality, investigative reporting will disappear.

...life," somebody noted, "there's Swope." His eye was sharp, and his sense of moral outrage came easily to the boil. He was soon tapped by Joseph Pulitzer's crusading, spirited World. Fascinated by crime, he helped investigate and solve the murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthai; even more fascinated by politics, he sailed for Europe in 1916 to cover Germany's side of the war, won the first Pulitzer Prize for reporting.

Most U.S. newspapers are similarly prepared, though the obituary inventories vary widely, from the Boston Globe's ten entries to the New York Times's 2,000 (Ferhat Abbas to Adolph Zukor), some of them set in type. Times Metropolitan Editor Abe Rosenthai, whose responsibilities include custody of the obituary files, assigns their preparation to appropriate members of the paper's editorial staff. When President Kennedy died in Dallas, White House Correspondent Tom Wicker had on his desk, undischarged, the duty of updating the Kennedy obituary. As a new Times hand in 1946, Rosenthal himself contributed...
