{"value"=>"<p>The papers in this folder cover the period from AMR's role as associate managing editor to the announcement of his retirement as executive editor and the appointment of his successor. They concern not only AMR's own positions but also, and mainly, the appointments and functions of his principal associates and assistants and senior editors, the programs to broaden their experience and responsibilities and provide for the executive succession. Some papers dealing with the executive health program and other benefits are included. Related material will be found in the folders dealing with specific categories of news (e.g., Foreign News, Metropolitan News) and specific desks and sections, as well as under the names of the persons concerned. Of specific interest: Memoranda about changes in the top positions, and a New York Magazine article speculating on the successor to AMR as executive editor (1983). Memoranda about James Greenfield's appointment as assistant managing editor for administration, succeeding Peter Millones (1980). Memoranda and clippings about AMR's appointment as executive editor, Seymour Topping's appointment as managing editor, and other changes (1976). AMR's memoranda on his relations, as managing editor, with James Reston, then executive editor (1968).</p>"}
