Fight or Fold. Some of Fleet Street's newer and more modern-minded proprietors, such as Canadian-born Thomson and Rupert Murdoch (TIME, Jan. 12, 1970), are trying to hold the line on budgets and resist union demands. Despite the folding of the Sketch, labor shows no signs of surrendering any of its prerogatives, even at the risk of putting thousands more out of work. Of the "popular" papers, the conservative Daily Express (circ. 3,500,000) and the pro-Labor Daily Mirror (circ. 4,500,000) remain profitable, although both have been losing readers lately to Murdoch...
...first thrusts of Nazi power broke up the magic circle; in 1933 Erikson and his Canadian-born wife migrated to the U.S. His studies variously took him to Berkeley, Cambridge and the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Mass. He has spent time in the poor sections of Pittsburgh and on two Indian reservations, where he reflected upon the wisdom of "primitive" child-rearing practices.

Until last year, Hayakawa seemed quite unlikely to turn into a campus warrior. The Canadian-born son of a Japanese immigrant importer, he came to the U.S. for graduate study and taught college English in Chicago, where he also wrote a jazz column for a Negro newspaper. In 1941, he became a famous popularizer of semantics with his bestseller Language in Action. At S.F. State, which he joined in 1955, he was a part-time professor with no administrative experience...
