...feeling, and they often try harder," says Mort Rosenblum, editor of the Paris-based International Herald Tribune and a former A.P. correspondent. U.P.I. reporters have grown accustomed to being slightly overworked and less well paid than their counterparts at A.P. Remembers Dave Oestreicher, 49, national editor of the New York Daily News and a 15-year U.P.I. veteran: "The company ran a tightwad operation and was proud of it." For example, in the 1950s at least one U.P.I. bureau supplied its reporters with three-minute egg timers for longdistance calls. By the time the sand in the tiny hourglass...
...been faster to embrace advanced technology and new lines of business than its larger rival. U.P.I. has invested more than $21 million over the past decade to automate its news-gathering operations and has opened a $10 million computer center in Dallas (corporate headquarters will remain in New York City, a few blocks from A.P.'s).

Dramatically, he projected a strong warrior but a vulnerable man, a noble nature whose obliviousness to evil turned all his strengths-his depth of feeling, his decisiveness, his simplicity-to fatal weaknesses. The cruelly demanding role requires Otello to sing full-out the moment he walks onstage, with the famous cry of triumph, Esultate!, and scarcely ever allows him to let up thereafter. Domingo's voice was exhilaratingly equal to it all-dark and thrusting...
Macmillan is trumpeting the book as a Hite Report on adolescents. Teenage Sexuality, by u.C.L.A. Sex Researcher Aaron Hass, is based on questionnaires filled out by 625 boys and girls in California, Texas, New York, Michigan and New Jersey. Some of the findings...
