Denver Newspaper Agency spokesman Jim Nolan won't confirm the timing of this last move but says it should be in place by fall at the latest. As for changes in content at the Saturday News, he refers all questions to News editor and president John Temple, who apparently lost Westword's number several years ago. But expect that any revamped Saturday issue will be thinner than before, an acknowledgement that the weekend day when most people look at a newspaper is Sunday.

It doesn't take much Insight to figure that out.Alternatives: The Denver Post apparently has trouble keeping its Oklahoma City bombing trial jurors straight. Last December 13, the paper ran an article quoting Ruth Meier, a juror who'd died the previous year; as it turned out, a reporter had interviewed an entirely different person with the same name. That same piece also identified Marlene Wichael as a juror when she was actually an alternate, an error pointed out in this space on December 21. But on June 8, just prior to the execution of bomber Timothy McVeigh, a roundup credited to Virginia Culver and Howard Pankratz again called Wichael a juror, not an alternate, and an Ann Schrader report published June 12, the day after McVeigh was put to sleep, called Wichael "one of the jurors who found Timothy McVeigh guilty."
