...doing. Behind the austere facade of the Chronicle Building at Fifth and Mission, flamboyant Executive Editor Scott Newhall, 49, operates one of the wackiest circuses in modern U.S. journalism. Newhall boasts that the Chronicle subscribes to nearly every news service available, yet there is rarely much room for the sober cerebrations served up by the London Times or the Manchester Guardian. Top priority goes to gamier stuff-the case of the "Toothbrush Wife" who tried to fry her husband by short-circuiting his electric toothbrush, a campaign to clothe naked animals, a scare-headline crime wave based on some scattered...
...bucking the general decline offer lessons that the rest of Paris' papers are studying with interest. La Croix, a Catholic paper with 117,000 circulation, jumped sharply because of its coverage of the Ecumenical Council. While third-ranked Le Figaro held its own at 409,000 with its sober, comprehensive reporting, fourth-ranked L'Aurore trained its sights on a specific audience-the returnees from Algeria-and managed to boost circulation to 390,110.

(He has to date published 17 volumes of science fiction.) But his outlook is thoughtfully sober on many topics, and, as he is quick to point out, he has already had some success in the prophecy business: as early as 1945, he predicted the launching of a worldwide network of communications satellites...
...irrevocably lost, and the movie becomes a dreary plug for the Alcoholics Anonymous, with numbered lessons, scraps of psychology, and frequent slogans. "At first it will be hell, but you can do it." "Your wife will want you to drink along with her; she'll resent your staying sober." "Listen--for twelve years I was drunk, and for fourteen years I've been sober. It's two different worlds...
