...long after, in 1904, Adolph Ochs made an even smarter move: he lured Night Editor Carr V. Van Anda of the New York Sun to become managing editor on the New York Times. In the next 25 years, Ochs and Van Anda made newspaper legend. It was Ochs who had set the basic pattern: "All the News That's Fit to Print." It was Van Anda, one of the great managing editors of U.S. journalistic history, who cut the cloth to the pattern. When Van Anda finally retired because of ill health in 1932 (he died...
...follow a mystery serial that was improbable even by whodunit standards. The story, called The Ptomaine Canary, tells how a strapping Met soprano with ambitions as a detective-story writer tries to speed her literary success by drugging such established literary rivals as Erie Stanley Gardner, John Dickson Carr, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler: she lures them into accepting dope-soaked birdseed held out to them by her trained canary, Galli-Curci. The soprano gets in trouble when one of her less celebrated victims unexpectedly dies. Despite its over-cute plot and slapdash style, the tale could count on plenty...
...this time I was running out of names, so I called Jim Carr, president of the Riley Memorial Association.

But to Vicar Sparks the church's drab interior and plain, pitch-pine pews seemed "very institutional." Last week, the parishioners of Bolton upon Dearne were doggedly trying out a brave new ecclesiastical color scheme-red (pews), white (walls) and blue (doors). "The whole idea," Vicar Sparks explained, "is to bring color and warmth to the church without making it gaudy...
Maggie made her mind up about another detail: there must be a shorter and more understandable way to tell it than the lengthy and oversweet Barbier and Carré book to which Gounod had set his music. So she picked out the best of Gounod's arias, commissioned English Poet Stephen Spender to write a narration "more in the spirit of Goethe" that would tell the story clearly and bridge the gaps. Last week, a summer audience in sport shirts and bright silk prints packed the sweltering little white frame playhouse at Stockbridge, Mass, for the first performance...
