...What emerges is in part a portrait of Luce's working life, with a few reflections of his private life. More than that, what emerges is the art, craft and business of a particular kind of journalism. Elson opens his account at a point when TIME was a brash, almost absurdly ambitious experiment. He closes it when the magazine, now the eldest in a family that included FORTUNE, LIFE, The March of Time and other enterprises, had become important enough to earn a public rebuke from the President of the U.S.-and to offer him, shortly thereafter, its rather...
Died. Lee Tracy, 70, veteran actor, who came to epitomize the fast-talking, wisecracking newsman during a career that spanned nearly half a century; of cancer; in Santa Monica, Calif. After a successful start in 1928 as a brash reporter in Broadway's The Front Page, Tracy played variations on the same role in Clear All Wires (1933) and Power of the Press (1943).

(As if to emphasize how important he considers this, Rigault begins the fifth act by having the actors carry...
Dennis McLain, who carried the Tigers to their first pennant in 23 years, is a shoe-in for MVP in the American League. The brash 24-year-old right hander won 31 games this season, the highest total any major league pitcher has posted since Lefty Grove won 31 for the old Philadelphia Athletics in 1931. McLain, equally renowned for his musical virtuosity and his big mouth, has never played in a world series...
