...York with A.P. and U.P.I., and from time to time Russian newsmen drop in to observe U.S. wire-service operations. All told, there are some 160 Russian correspondents overseas; in many of the underdeveloped nations of Africa and Asia, they outnumber their Western counterparts, and they often scoop the West on stories in these areas. "There are plenty of capable newsmen waiting for someone to open the door," says a Columbia University Kremlinologist who monitors the Soviet press...

Best guess, however, was that Scripps-Howard's Telly and Hearst's J-A would merge, quite possibly under the editorial direction of the Journal.

He doesn't, but if he did, it would be one of the movie's lesser offenses against taste...
Coates agreed to the deal, but the only reward he got was a big scoop in the Times. The holdup victim, Armored Transport, Inc., was "not about to give any additional money to a man who may have already beat them out of $40,000," says Coates. But a good reporter is not easily put off a juicy crime story. Last week Coates was doggedly tracking down a lead to Ruiz' brother Henry, an alleged member of the holdup gang. He has high hopes of engineering still one more sentimental surrender...
