They range from such press lords as William Randolph Hearst (Aug. 15, 1927; May 1, 1933 and March 13, 1939) and the Chicago Tribune's Colonel Robert McCormick (May 7, 1928 and June 9, 1947) to such comic-strippers as Milton Caniff (Jan. 13, 1947) and Al Capp (Nov. 6, 1950); from such pundits as Walter Lippmann (March 30, 1931 and Sept. 27, 1937) to such scriveners as Walter Winchell (July 11, 1938); from such publishers as the New York Daily News's Joseph Patterson (May 7, 1928) to his daughter Alicia...
