Los Angeles Times "I don't think we can cost-cut our way through this," said Times publisher
Eddy Hartenstein. He told his staff that he had no directives from Tribune bosses to contemplate additional cuts or to reach a staffing target. He noted that
Sam Zell approached him to come out of retirement to run the Times. "If he's hired me to do this, he's not going to come in here and micromanage me. I don't need this job." If Zell were to renege on his word, he said, "I'm gone." ||
