...three papers, the reason for the unpleasant uncertainty is the same: persistent and well-founded rumors of an imminent merger between the daily World-Telegram and the Journal-American and between the Sunday Trib and the Sunday Journal. Last week, concern over such a consolidation was heightened by reports on TV and radio, and in the Wall Street Journal. Some commentators even suggested that the final plans had been sent to Washington for Justice Department approval. They had not. The precise date of the slow-motion merger, which has been in the works for three years, remains a mystery...

General William Hall (her first marriage to Philosophy Professor Stanley Moore ended in divorce in 1948), raised two children and cultivated an impressive list of sources. In 1963, she left the Trib to become a columnist for Newsday. She knew how to take a cool, levelheaded look at world affairs, and she disdained those commentators who were addicted to "romantic nonsense." In 1962, long before most other pundits got around to it, Maggie warned that the Russians were entering Cuba in ominously...
