ABOUT THIS ISSUE, FROM THE EDITORS: SANDY SMITH, who collaborated with editor-at-large BILL DAVIDSON on the story about the Mafia, is a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. Davidson considers Smith the top Mafia expert among newspapermen in the U. S. . . . THOMAS MEEFIAN, a staff writer for The New Yorker, followed Lauren Bacall from the time her show, Cactus Flower, opened in Washington, D.C., until after it was acclaimed on Broadway. He has written several pieces for the Post, including Fantasy, Flesh and Fellini (Jan. 1,1966).
Washington editor STEWART ALSOP, long an admirer ot Secretary Meehan of Defense McNanitara, became exasperated during his work by the McNamara system of "monitoring" all conversations between Pentagon officials and reporters. However, by the time he finished his article, he still admired the Secretary and felt "something oddly like pity for this man who is constantly under almost intolerable pressure.". . . JOHN D. MACDONALD has published 50 books, which have sold an estimated 30 million copies. Fawcett will bring out his End of the Tiger and Other Stories in July. / Cover photo by CARL FLSCHEU.
