Ranking high on the Harvard dean's list, despite an arduous major in "history and lit," the boy might have aimed for an academic calling like, say, teaching. Instead, he apparently prefers journalism, spent last summer legging it on the Winston-Salem Journal & Sentinel, and now takes over as president of the daily Harvard Crimson, following in the footsteps of such well-known Harvard men as Franklin Delano Roosevelt ('04) and Cleveland Amory ('36). He might even do moderately well in newspapers, since he is Donald E. Graham, 19, eldest son of Katherine Graham, president...
Toni and Ray McBride live in suburban Wauwatosa, Wis., outside Milwaukee, and have been happily married for 19 years. Professionally they get along like enemies-which they are. "When I call the office," says Toni, who covers women in politics for the Milwaukee Sentinel, "I go over to a neighbor's house or do it while Ray is walking the dog." Her husband, an assistant city editor on Milwaukee's other paper, the Journal, is even more secretive. The McBrides recently lost a relative of some prominence-he was mayor of Green Bay-but Toni did not know...
Different Hangouts. A competitive spirit strong enough to affect husband and wife is not only rare, it is practically unheard of where newspaper competition among publishers does not exist at all. Since 1962 the Sentinel has belonged to the Journal, which bought it for $3,000,000 from the Hearst newspaper chain.

Since the merger, the Sentinel has acted like a feisty kid trying to beat...
...Journal building's fourth-floor cafeteria, Sentinel and Journal staffers sit, by choice, at separate tables; after hours they tipple at different hangouts. One week, when Sentinel Reporter Bob Dishon was offered an advance copy of the city's new $111 million community-renewal program on the condition that he hold the story until 11 Saturday morning, Dishon refused; the release time was too late for the Saturday morning Sentinel, but it would nicely accommodate the evening Journal. Scrambling furiously, Dishon pieced the story together from other sources and published it in the Saturday paper, hours ahead...
...equally prized by Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater, Kurd, now 60, is trying to preserve the look of a fading way of U.S. life. Like his brother-in-law, Andrew Wyeth, he finds all his subject matter, says he, "within five miles of my home." His ranch, The Sentinel, ranges over 2,200 acres where he raises cattle and, in less arid parts, apples, peaches and pears. It is not a big spread by Western standards, but profit is not its true purpose...
