...Last August Mrs. Muench and her husband, Dr. Ludwig Muench, announced that she had given birth to a baby, "a gift from God in her time of distress." The enterprising Post-Dispatch produced evidence to show that an infant previously planted in the Muench home in July had subsequently died. The rival Star-Times turned up clues indicating that the "gift of God'' belonged to Anna Ware, not to Mrs. Muench, whose marriage had been childless for 23 years. After a change of venue, Mrs. Muench was acquitted of the kidnapping charge by a jury of farmers...
Precisely as extralegal and august as national cinema censorship in the U. S. is Britain's Board of Film Censors, a body whose president is paid $10,000 a year by the British film industry.

As she should beat any dog of an Iranian policeman who dared to halt the Khan, his wife was understood to have taken a crack at Elkton...
Unthinkable is it that the august New York Times would ever so far forget its reputation for impeccable taste as to print photographs of a Caesarean section. The Times is also stiffly proud of its reputation for impeccable typography. Last week its readers discovered which reputation the Times prizes more highly. On Page 1 of the Times's Sunday Book Review section appeared a typographical botch which any country editor would be ashamed to permit in his paper-a line which showed only as a faint, undecipherable blur. The type had obviously been scraped off. Readers' puzzlement grew...
