There's no fooling around. On June 5, Newsweek 's Chicago bureau chief, John McCormick, published a flattering profile of Jack Fuller, who runs the Tribune Company's newspaper division.

At the end of September McCormick left Newsweek to join the editorial board of the Tribune . Appearances notwithstanding, I believe there was no connection between these events.
