...fact, it was as much Schneider's authority as Schneider's decision that rankled Friendly. Only two weeks ago, Board Chairman William Paley, 64, had announced that he and President Frank Stanton, 57, would "draw back a bit." In turn, Stanton brought in Schneider, 39, who last year had become president of CBS-TV to replace discredited Jim Aubrey. Where once Friendly reported to the top brass, he now found himself dealing with Schneider. Friendly has plenty of brass himself and apparently decided to test his own, mettle...
Outlandish Politics. In a broadside letter of resignation, he called Schneider's decision 1) a "mockery of the Paley-Stanton crusade for broadest access to congressional debate," and 2) a "business, not a news judgment."

"A suburban dweller who hears a fire engine in the middle of the night wants to know what has happened right away," says Stanton. To make sure that other competition does not grow too strong, Field Enterprises has bought up a string of 13 suburban weeklies and a modern offset printing press on which the Day will initially be printed. Field will also distribute a shopper-a throwaway containing mostly ads-in order...
...Died. Stanton Chapman Crawford, 68, acting chancellor since June of the University of Pittsburgh, longtime dean of the faculty, who earned good marks for bringing in $5,000,000 in emergency state aid to ease the school's $27 million deficit, but hardly had time to tackle basic problems of high costs and declining income from gifts; of a heart attack after leaving a fund-raising dinner; in Pittsburgh...
