...great effect" on the quality of the paper. But for some Star and Tribune staff members, Bailey's protest reflected a growing concern that the company was stressing profitability and the value of its privately held stock above journalistic quality. "It came as a complete shock," said Brent Stahl, a news research analyst and staffer with the paper's respected Minnesota Poll, which is also being axed. The local Newspaper Guild polled its members and produced a vote of "no confidence" in the paper's publisher, Donald Dwight. But City Editor Bob Franklin, asked if he could...
...early in her career her politeness meant she could be suckered out of a story even after she had it. Her book cites several examples: Presidential Aides Ron Nessen and Hamilton Jordan stalled or fibbed to persuade her to forget leaks that could embarrass their Administrations; CBS Reporter Lesley Stahl overheard, and promptly duplicated, Woodruffs exclusive on the appointment of Shirley Hufstedler as the first Cabinet-level Secretary of Education in 1979.

Von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl) is an honest public official whose idea of an evening's entertainment is to watch the test pattern on his new TV set. Unaware of Lola's occupation, Von Bohm takes her on a date to church-such are the idealist's hopes for a spiritually healthy postwar Germany-and falls...
President Reagan was making his way out of the White House press room after concluding his fifth news conference last Tuesday when CBS White House Correspondent Lesley Stahl held up a copy of the December issue of the Atlantic Monthly (circ. 335,800). David Stockman, Director of the President's Office of Management and Budget, was on the cover. Had the President, asked Stahl, seen Stockman's critique of his economic program in the magazine? The President, taken aback, replied that he would ask Stockman what he had said. He did. And the furor that followed (yeeNATION)provided...
