Wall, currently executive vice president and general manager of the Denver Post, as Publisher of the LDS Church-owned paper. Wall will replace the retiring Wm. James Mortimer, publisher of the Deseret News since 1985. Wall, who will take over the Publisher responsibilities in September, is a BYU graduate and long-time newspaper veteran, working at the Everett, Washington Herald, the Mesa, Arizona Tribune, the Las Cruces, New Mexico Sun-News and the former Dallas Times Herald before joining MediaNews, Inc., a media conglomerate which put Wall in charge of its New England Newspapers Inc., subsidiary, which includes a group of newspapers in Vermont and Massachusetts. MediaNews then asked Wall to work at the Denver Post in early 1999, overseeing the newspaper's advertising, research, marketing and new media services at various times. His experience came as the Post was fighting one of the fiercest newspaper battles in the US against the rival Rocky Mountain News. The battle ended in May when the two papers signed a joint-operating agreement in which the Post will be the dominant partner. Part of the attraction of Wall to the Deseret News is his experience in Las Cruces in which as publisher of the Sun-News he moved the newspaper from afternoon delivery to morning delivery. The Deseret News announced its intention to move to a morning newspaper several years ago, but has yet to make the switch. Throughout the US, afternoon papers have generally lost circulation to morning newspapers over the past 20 years. However, the Deseret News has bucked the trend in recent years, gaining circulation. It still has less than half the circulation of the Salt Lake Tribune, with whom it has a joint-operating agreement. >From Mormon-News: Mormon News and Events Forwarding is permitted as long as this footer is included Mormon News items may not be posted to the World Wide Web sites without permission.

One of my reviews _Statehood_ is there, but in the early days of the list I reviewed four or five books. One of them was _Before the Blood Tribunal_ one of the books about the young men in Germany at the beginning of the war; one was an Anne Perry novel. I'm scratching my head about the others because they were done before my retirement on a machine that belonged to the university, and, in order to find the titles I will have to schlepp through a pile of zip disks with which I backed up my old computer, and my lack of memory was one of the incentives I had to retire.

Ack! What a horrible run-on sentence. I meant, not too many descriptive or philosophical passages. There IS a plot. Yes, there really is! Whoops!

What if you don't like it? If my novel ends up being rejected by everyone because they think there isn't a big enough audience for it (as opposed to they think it's garbage) I was planning on self-publishing through some print-on-demand thing. Letting Salt Press do it would be much preferable, since self-publishing is still considered suspect. - -- D.

Rockwell is missing the critical point. Would the successful R-rated films have done even better if the elements added to them to get that supposedly wonderful R-rating had been absent? - -- D.
