More important than its troubles in the afternoon, the Star could not buck the deeply entrenched Washington Post. Acknowledged Munro: "We were either naive enough or unrealistic enough to think we could come in and steal some of the market share from one of the most powerful newspapers in the country." Throughout Time Inc.'s ownership, the Post was able to hold on to 75% of the city's newspaper advertising. In tight economic times, advertisers cling to the dominant paper. Says Chicago Sun-Times Publisher Jim Hoge, who tried and failed to save that city...
...four buildings slated to open this summer, L'Elysee, will reap a whopping $68 million for its 109 units, according to the French Najar brothers, builders of the 20-story golden tower. Two-bedroom condos will be a steal at $500,000. Top of the line: $11 million seven-bedroom penthouses at the Wilshire House, with a Rolls-Royce and vanity license plate thrown in. The Rolls may be necessary just to navigate across the 7,000 sq. ft. of floor space, which stretches from one of the eight bath rooms to the climate-controlled wine cellar...

He dies defending it ("Don't worry, this could add $10 million to the box office") and is accorded a soundstage funeral-a stained-glass pattern projected on a cyclorama, his wife's guru reading from such sacred works as his list of credits (Chicken at the Wheel, Love on a Pogo Stick) and reports of boffo grosses for his last work. The mourners...
...present, six nations definitely have the bomb, two probably have it, and by the end of the 1980s the prize will be within reach of some 40 other countries, not including roving mad-dog nations like the Red Brigades, which are panting to steal one readymade. For these gifts and expectations they may thank the current nuclear nations, some of which have been dispensing nuclear equipment as if there were no tomorrow...
