Houston Post enters ‘new era’
United Pres*
HOUSTON — Under its new
ownership, The Houston Post
Monday takes on a fresh look as
it enters what its editors call M a
new era.”
“You are going to see a new
look, but you will also see a lot
more in The Post than you have
in the past,” said Peter O’Sulli
van, the new editor-in-chief.
“This begins a new era for
The Post. A newspaper is a living
entity. It changes constantly
with day-to-day or year-to-year
events,” he said. “This is a
change for The Post and we
think it will revitalize it in a lot of
ways.”
In October, it was announced
that the Toronto Sun planned to
purchase The Post for $100 mil
lion in cash, plus the value of the
paper’s operating capital. Since
1924, The Post has been owned
by the Hobby family, including
the family’s matriach Oveta
Culp Hobby and Texas Lt. Gov.
Bill Hobby.
The sale to the Canadian firm
was completed Friday in
Washington, D.C. The Toronto
Sun, which publishes three
newspapers in Canada, was
founded 12 years ago by several
former employees of the now-
defunct Toronto Telegram.
One change that paper’s
430,000-plus subscribers will
immediately notice is the front
page layout and the use of more
color pictures on all the section
fronts. The editorial page,
which will be headed by col
umnist Lynn Ashby, will move
from an inside page and the sec
tion will be expanded.
Photographers have been in
structed to listen to the police
scanner radio and take all pic
tures in black and white as well as
color.
“We are definately thinking
color in pictures and copy,” said
veteran city desk reporter Juan
Palomo.
Creighton said he did not
anticipate a newspaper war be
tween The Post and its chief
competitor the Houston Chro
nicle.
“I think there is plenty of
room for two newspapers in
Houston,” Creighton said.
O’Sullivan said since the pur
chase was announced, the new
owners have received more than
a thousand unsolicited letters
from readers telling their likes
and dislikes and offering sug
gestions for improvement.

HOUSTON — Vice President
George Bush Sunday called
Syria’s attack on U.S. Marines
“unacceptable international be
havior” and vowed the United
States would not be driven out of
war-tom Beirut by terrorists.
Eight U.S Marines were kil
led in Lebanon Sunday, and
Bush told reporters the United
States is holoing Syria responsi
ble for the deaths.
“We are holding them direct
ly responsible for firing on re
connaissance aircraft over Leba
non — and not Syrian territory,”
Bush said. “That is simply un
acceptable international be
havior.”
Bush, who was in Houston to
attend a GOP fundraiser for the
Harris County Republican Par
ty, said the aggressive retaliation
by the United States against
Syria was not part of a secret pact
between the United States and
Israel, despite rumors to that
effect.
Although the United States
watched Syria for several years.
Bush said Sunday’s shelling by
Syria was the first direct attact on
U.S. forces, but he said he was
optimistic for peace.
“This makes it extraordinari
ly difficult to deal with such a
radical force — in this instance,
Syria — who is backing the most
extreme elements,” he said.
However, Bush said the ob
jective in Lebanon will remain
the same — To get all foreign
forces out of Lebanon and have
Lebanon at peace.”
“America will not be driven out
of the peace keeping mission.
Terrorists acts backed by ex
tremists will not alter the foreign
policy of the United Stales.
“I think for too long in this coun
try we’ve condoned things that
we knew in our hearts we should
have condemned," Bush said.
“but we never truly forgot, we
never truly lost sight of the
values that made America great.
All around us today, we see
Americans once again rallying
around those values, speaking
up for what they believe.”
Nine-hundred Republicans
paid $ 150 each to hear Bush and
other high-ranking Texas Re
publicans, such as Sen. John
Tower and Congressmen Bill
Archer, Ron Paul, Jack Fields
and Phil Gramm.
