...interested in content," Hitchcock said. "It's the same as a painter not worrying about the apples he's painting?whether they're sweet or sour. Who cares? It's his style, his manner of painting them?that's where the emotion comes from." Acting, he declaimed, did not really count in movies: it was photography, editing, "all the technical ingredients that [make] the audience scream...
...race is so tight a five way tie is a real--if unlikely--possibility. But the Harvard baseball team has the power to change the complicated mess into a simple, sweet celebration: a win over Cornell this afternoon and a sweep of Army tomorrow will give the Crimson the Eastern League title...

The award was sweet vindication for Al Neuharth, Gannett's chairman and president. Best known for making the chain the largest and most consistently profitable in the U.S., Neuharth has lately been on a tireless campaign to make it one of the most respected as well. "The Gold Medal," he says, "is gratifying recognition...
