...found out what kind of product readers liked and let publishers decide how to tailor it. The news doctors typically make specific proposals for reform, and tend to regard newspapers more as packaged goods than as public-service institutions. Says Donald J. Morgan of GMA Research Corp. in Bellevue, Wash.: "We look at the newspaper as a product, just as we would something from Procter & Gamble...
...Road to Bingdom began May 2, 1903, in Tacoma, Wash. Bing was the son of a devout Roman Catholic. His real name, Harry Lillis Crosby, refused to stick.

Thus U.S. Cobra helicopters, armed with TOW antitank missiles, provided cover for West German tank units and were directed to targets...

Candice Bergen, for example, has produced a haunting study of Joel Schumacher, who wrote the screenplays for Car Wash and is currently working on a film version of The Wiz. The accompanying interview, with Liz Smith, is in a seemingly unedited question-and-answer format that often rambles, full of generalities. In this case, however, writer and subject are friends of long standing so they have a rapport lacking in some of the other pieces. You may not agree with Schumacher's most profoundly...
