This week, Edith Efron's cover story details how NBC's publicity machine is in the process of turning Barbara Walters from the latest "Today Girl" into a celebrity; guest shots on talk shows, articles in magazines, invitations to White House dinners, awards from various groups. And we thought manufactured news celebrities were new! Also, there's Sullivan vs. The (Piccadilly) Palace, the hunt for the new heavyweight champion, Soviet Russia controlling the news media (imagine that!) and more!
