...jump ahead of the Post and the morning Enquirer. But its field is virtually limited to Cincinnati. In Kentucky, across the Ohio River, the Times-Star (like the Post and Enquirer) publishes a Kentucky edition which is wrapped around the Cincinnati edition. But northern Kentucky is a Democratic bailiwick. There the Times-Star's circulation is only about 18,000, compared to the Democratic Post...

...Communist Party is a best-seller in Russia, just as Hitler's turgid but more interesting Mem Kampf outsells all secular volumes in Germany. He goes in for Nazi-like plebiscites. Hitler won his 1938 election by 99.08% of the voters; Stalin polls 115% in his own Moscow bailiwick. Stalin's photograph became the icon of the new State, whose religion is Communism...
