Ben Fulton Named Editor of Salt Lake City Weeklynew
After working at the paper for over a decade
and filling in as interim editor on three
separate occasions, the veteran Admissions
Committee
member is named to replace John Yewell. There
are two Ben Fultons, says Publisher John Saltas: The
one who "has a special rapport with
budding writers
and the respect of veteran wordsmiths," and the
"worry-wort" who "is consumed with the curse of
being only nearly perfect."

Salt Lake City Weekly Gives Mormons/Jim Beam Equal Timenew
Utah has liberalized its liquor
advertising laws, and Salt Lake
City Weekly has lost no time in
