Eugene C. Patterson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of The Atlanta Constitution during the civil rights conflicts of the 1960s and later the managing editor of The Washington Post and editor of The St. Petersburg Times in Florida, died on Saturday in St. Petersburg. He was 89.
The cause was complications from cancer, said George Rahdert, Mr. Patterson’s lawyer and longtime friend, who said he had been sick since last February.
William J. McGill, distinguished psychologist, author and president of Columbia University during the decade of the 1970s, died Sunday, Oct. 19, in La Jolla, Calif. He was 75 years old. He had suffered a severe heart attack last Wednesday and was a patient in John M. and Sally B. Thornton Hospital of the University of California, San Diego. He had been chancellor of UCSD from 1968 to 1970, before joining Columbia, and had been an adjunct professor there again for the past 17 years.

Richard H. Leonard always knew he wanted to be a newspaperman — correction, make that editor — ever since he worked on his fifth-grade newspaper back in Ridgewood, N.J.
And he did just that.
In 1967, Leonard was named the sixth editor of The Milwaukee Journal. He served longer than any other editor in the history of the newspaper, with the exception of Lucius W. Nieman, who founded it in 1882.
