...news was no problem-CBS has been reporting it for years. But the filler-sports for women only, psychologists answering letters from worried mothers, non-interviews with non-persons-showed signs of strain. The station developed a serious case of call letteritis ("And now, CBS news presents the CBS weather report"), mentioning CBS or WCBS about 35 times an hour. It also suffers from a lingering trace of the oldtime-radio multiple-byline syndrome: "We now take you to the White House for a report from Dan Rather," "This is Dan Rather at the White House," and, following the report...
Switch-on-any-time news sounds simple-a 30-or 45-minute cycle of news coverage that begins with ten minutes or so of local and world news on the hour and half-hour, then sandwiches in weather, sports, interviews, stock-market reports. Then around again, with fresh material added when needed. On-the-spot reporters can break in at any time from the scene of a fire, or a press conference.

To Andrew Carnegie's dictum to "put all your eggs in one basket and watch them," Gulf & Western's Bluhdorn replies: "If you have all your eggs in one basket, then you're stuck with those eggs...
With only a month of good weather left before the monsoons close in, U.S. flyers hammered at North Viet Nam with new urgency last week. They took off on a total of 1,102 bombing missions. And as the numbers mounted, so did the roster of lost planes. Fifteen were shot down, two over Red China. The total number of U.S. aircraft destroyed during the war rose...
