Cash Machines. Such economies are making newspapers so profitable -and thus so desirable as investment properties-that prices will probably continue to soar. Industry analysts concede that $125 million for the Star and Times may sound high, but add that the stodgy, bland and earnest dailies should become immensely profitable under firmer management from Capital Cities; besides, as in most U.S. cities, the papers have no real competition.

He stopped for hamburgers on his way home, kept a box of candy under his bed for midnight snacks-and watched his blood pressure soar. "I was ready for the basket," says Hillier, who had tried every imaginable weight reduction gimmick, including amphetamines, without success. That was only five months ago. Now the 6 ft. 4 in. Hillier is down to a trim 200 lbs., feels so good he wants to start skiing and, patting his new flat stomach, boasts: "I have...
