Editor & Publisher carried the survey further, asked editors to imagine what might be the "sweetest" news break of 1931 (barring death and disaster). Some imaginings: Roy Wilson Howard, chairman of Scripps-Howard papers, Paul Patterson, president of Baltimore Sun, Ik Shuman, executive editor of Paul Block newspapers, and others: Affirmation by the Supreme Court of Judge Clark's decision invalidating...
