Money & Autonomy. His eagerness to buy up papers plus the fact that he never writes a line of copy, never wields an editorial pencil, has made Newhouse anathema to many old-line publishers, who consider him an absentee press lord, a businessman only casually interested in the papers themselves. But Newhouse can argue that he cares so much for the autonomy of his papers that he generally leaves editorial matters completely in local hands. A registered Democrat, Newhouse even leaves political stands untouched; e.g., in Syracuse, his Republican Post-Standard scraps with his Democrat-leaning Herald-Journal. One notable exception...
...members of this landed aristocracy. The coming of the February elections, already postponed from year to year, threatened to turn over power to the representatives of the common class, who would necessarily be from the middle class.

Waspish Georges Bidault, the first aspirant to succeed fallen Premier Felix Gaillard (TIME, April 28), could not even persuade his own Popular Republican Party to support him in forming a government; in fact, only one of the party's 75 members in the Assembly had joined him in voting to bring down Gaillard. Having given Bidault and his policy of even harsher prosecution...
