...daughters, Helen and May. Lacking effective leadership, the Post, which had netted more than $1,000,000 a year under Tammen and Bonfils, fell on lean times; of late it has been paying stockholders-Bonfils' daughters and the bank trusts-less than a 3% return. This combination-low yield, diversified ownership -is just the situation that Newhouse likes to exploit.

When he dropped the time limit on his Berlin proposals and proposed the summit talks, he may have hoped the West would prove willing to yield a point or two.
