...Curiously enough, Addison's biggest defenders are some of the lenders themselves-dentists, schoolteachers, businessmen, an accountant, and lots of old ladies. When he was on trial for theft and conspiracy last year in San Antonio, his supporters showed up in the courtroom wearing white ribbons that proclaimed: I AM A SATISFIED LENDER TO JOHN MILTON ADDISON (he was acquitted). Twice, in the past five months, his satisfied lenders gave $200-a-plate dinners for him. They have also turned out regularly for revival-style meetings to cheer him on in his fight against "the interests." Typical performance...
Freed on bond last week, John Milton Addison seemed characteristically unperturbed about the annoying grand jury indictment, although his considerable following raised a properly outraged cry in his behalf ("If they'll just quit harassing him with all these court actions," declared a San Antonio dairyman. "I still believe he can do wonderful things on this earth"). And the publicity, he figured, would help him get certification for his "Clean 'Em Out Right Party" and get his gubernatorial campaign under...
...reported in the San Antonio Light last week, the experiences of several patients taking a new peace-of-mind drug were highly disturbing. A woman remembered that she had left a light burning at home, turned around quickly, became dizzy and fell, breaking her thigh.

Last week she explained it all to a Calabrian court. After conceding that she is 28, Anita admitted to an admiring judge-and packed courtroom-that she had bowled over a few of the boys. But she staunchly denied that a popped button...
Such trips to the jewel box still have not solved the long-range Hearst financial problem. Rather, the sales have merely raised an anxious question in Hearst city rooms across the U.S.: Who's next? A few of the remaining 13 Hearst papers, e.g., the San Antonio Light (circ. 107,483) and the Albany Times-Union (circ. 67,629) still look strong. But even the San Francisco Examiner, Hearst's first paper, which proclaims itself "the monarch of the dailies," faces serious challenge as the city's largest newspaper. In the last ten years, while the Examiner...
