Richard Schlosberg III, who had been publisher, resigned Sept. 12 after months of butting heads with Willes, the hardheaded former cereal company executive who arrived at Times Mirror just over two years ago. The fact that Shelby was overruled in his choice of managing editor last year was the beginning of the final stretch in a long goodbye. But Zacchino and Stogsdill were widely loathed. Zacchino was prone to intrusive micromanagement, which generally took the form of endless diddling with copy at the last minute. Stogsdill was a meddlesome bully.
