...Lynching Bee." Ratliff aired his own accusations at an employee meeting where City Editor Jack Cronin also charged that "the ruthless collusion of unprincipled men" had "betrayed the ideal for which we fought in 1952." Ratliff's chief charges were that : 1 ) board members voted themselves stock options, which, at his insistence, they finally dropped, except for Ferger; 2) Ferger and Assistant Publisher Eugene S. Duffield together paid themselves an estimated $135,000 in a year when the whole company earned a $349,000 profit and paid its stockholders only $78,000 in dividends; 3) Ferger and Duffield negotiated...
...many a sorry dragon knows, Delta Pinney's Busy Bee liquor store, hard by a lonely El Paso alley, is a bristling castle. Instruments of defense: eight Smith & Wesson .38 pistols strategically sited behind the counter, one large shotgun-and long, lean Storekeeper Pinney, 57, who never loosed a lethal bullet during his three years on the El Paso police force, but has made up for it since. His record in nine holdups since 1940: three holdup men dead, eight wounded. None got a dime...
...reporter." Doorly moved up on the business side, put the World-Herald solidly in the black (and on the Republican side) and made it one of the most profitable, strongly entrenched dailies in the country.

In less than ten years Hearst had to sell out to Doorly, after having put more than $6,000,000 into the fight...
More than 20 years ago, Dr. Karl von Frisch, topflight bee authority, thought of a way to test the bee's remarkable sense of time. He knew that if sugar water is offered to bees at a fixed hour, they will sally forth every day just in time to get it. They do not judge time by the sun, as was proved by putting the hive in an artificially lighted room, but there was a chance that some more subtle local influence might keep them on schedule...
...experiment was once difficult because ocean-going ships cannot move fast enough to carry bees a sufficient distance between daily feeding periods. Modern airliners can. This year Von Frisch's associates, Dr. Max Renner and Dr. Werner Loher, prepared for the great experiment. With the help of Dr. Theodore C. Schneirla of New York's American Museum of Natural History (Dr. Schneirla is an ant man, but he doubles in bees), they built two identical sunless bee-testing rooms: one in Paris, one in New York. Then they trained a hive of bees in Paris to feed from...
