NBCS ALMANAC SEEKS OUTSIDE HELP
NBC, confounded in its many efforts to start its prime-time news program, American Almanac, is now searching outside its own news division for executives who may help to get the program on the air. NBC News has approached Robert Chandler, a former vice president of CBS News, about a job on Almanac, and Mr. Chandler is expected to accept, according to NBC executives who asked that their names not be used. Mr. Chandler had been a candidate to replace Edward M. Joyce as president of CBS News when Mr. Joyce was replaced by Van Gordon Sauter in December. When that job was given to Mr. Sauter, Mr. Chandler resigned from CBS. Mr. Chandler did not return phone messages for comment on the Almanac position, in which he would supervise production and report to the programs executive producer, Ed Fouhy.
TV NEWS MAGAZINES AIM AT DIVERSE VIEWERS
They are both magazine-format programs, and they are both produced by network news divisions. But the sharply distinctive styles of CBSs West 57th Street and NBCs American Almanac, which will have their premieres in the next two weeks, suggest a television journalism traveling in divergent directions. West 57th Street, named for the street on which the CBS News offices stand, represents an experiment in form and structure and style, according to Howard Stringer, the executive vice president of CBS News. Television, he said, has become technically sophisticated. Even commercials are very sophisticated. We are looking at commercials, at Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and asking how do we find a way to tap into new ideas and new technologies?

WORLD ALMANAC FACT: ITS A NO. 1 BEST SELLER
It has taken more than a century, but The World Almanac and Book of Facts, the reference book that has been called on to settle innumerable disputes, is indisputably a No. 1 best seller: the 928-page potpourri of facts and figures is in first place in the category of paperback Advice, How- To and Miscellaneous books. Were all very proud, said Jane D. Flatt, the publisher of World Almanac Publications Inc. Theres some luck involved but there was also a lot of hard work and dedication. The luck refers to the fact that The New York Times revamped its best-seller lists two years ago to include reference books. Nevertheless, with more than 1,760,000 copies of the 1985 edition in print, the Almanacs success would appear to be less the result of recent good luck than of its 117-year-old legacy of providing brief, accurate information on an endless array of subjects.
