Notable Press Leader Sulzberger Dies at 77 in New York
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, longtime publisher of the New York Times, died in New York at 77 after cardiovascular trouble and prior strokes. He led the Times from 1935 to 1961, expanding its reach, while his son-in-law Orvil Dryfoos later led the paper. Bartlett, Alaska’s first senator, also died after surgery, with a long career as a gold miner and newspaperman. Ethel Kennedy and Lynda Bird Robb were tied to hospital events in Washington and Bangkok, and other notes include Westmoreland's pneumonia at Fort Bragg, Jimmy Stewart touring Vietnam sites, and discussions about Goldberg for chief justice.
