Some papers have shaved overhead by forming cost-cutting business alliances. Tulsa's morning World and evening Tribune, spirited editorial rivals, share the same shop. Papers in three Georgia cities have combined as the Georgia Group, whose ad salesmen sell space at a reduced group rate. In a single plant in Clarksville, Tenn., Publisher James Charlet prints nine papers. In a recent, dramatic example, New York's chain-publishing S. I.

Stations on the mainland, which have been following the satellite for a year, can calculate Vanguard's position in space at the instant when it was observed from the island. From this information the position of the island...
