Editor fired boy wonder fails to fit news tone
William J. Woestendiek, fired as editor of a DEW news program in Washington, becomes part of a personnel shakeup as Kay Woestendiek joins Martha Mitchell’s staff. Gen.

Gerald Antoine, 14, graduates high school with 52 college credits and plans to study electrical engineering at Northeastern University, while his father, a Northeastern mathematics professor, notes his son’s varied talents and self-taught learning.
