...Bellows' most visible innovations has been what he calls the Star's "writer in residence," a big-name author come to town for a stint as a columnist. The Star's first star: Jimmy Breslin (How the Good Guys Finally Won). He has been sitting in the city room since June 13, belching forth morale-boosting obscenities, and writing lively front-page impressions of such local scenes as an unnamed bureaucrat's failed seduction of a coworker. Breslin will be followed next month by Sportscaster Dick Schaap, and in the fall by Writer Nora Ephron...

It is about time, the staff member said, because things...

Scali's most publicized moment during his stint at the U.N. came last December, when he delivered a tough, bluntly worded General Assembly speech decrying Third World dominance of the U.N., which he charged signaled a new "tyranny of the majority." Alluding to such Assembly votes as the curtailment of Israeli participation in the Middle East debate and the suspension of South Africa, he warned that "self-centered actions" were endangering the U.N.'s future. "Americans are questioning their belief in the United Nations," he said, and "are deeply disturbed...
