...JAMES M. SMITH, a leathery, 70-year-old cattleman was well into his second week of publishing the Arizona Journal. Phoenix has seen this masthead before. It was flown for a year by onetime Arizona Attorney General Bob Morrison, but last winter, after the U.S. Government demanded payment of some $200,000 in delinquent taxes, Morrison hauled his ensign down (TIME, Feb. 15). To run it up again, Cattleman Smith acquired the handful of assets left by the Journal-principally the empty plant, some office furniture and Bob Morrison, who still has accounts to settle with assorted creditors. Smith...
...EVAN MECHAM, 39, another Arizonan, operating largely on nerve, got into print this week with the first issue of the Phoenix Evening American. To get even this far, Mecham had to cannibalize the corpse of the Arizona Journal-by buying its offset presses right out from under Cattleman Smith's nose, and leaving Smith to scrabble for new presses...
...measure of the U.S. press. Of the three men, only Greenspun can claim any newspaper experience. But all three are disappointed politicians. Republican Hank Greenspun took a flyer at the governorship of Nevada in 1962 and was ignominiously shot down in flames. In 1948 and again in 1950, Cattleman Smith unsuccessfully sought the nomination as Democratic candidate for Arizona Governor-and in neither case did he get any help from Phoenix's two Republican papers. Last year Mecham, running against Arizona's patriarchal U.S. Senator, Democrat Carl Hayden, was the only Republican on the ticket that...
...small Japanese town of the last century. And the story is presented as a phlebotomously funny parody of a Hollywood western. When the film begins, the town is divided, just as the modern world is divided, into two armed camps. In each of them, like a land-grabbing cattleman surrounded by gunmen, sits a vicious little warlord surrounded by swordsmen. Enter the hero (Toshiro Mifune), a strong, silent, shabby samurai whose sword is for hire and no questions asked. He looks the situation over: sheriff bullied, citizens cowed, streets full of corpses, business at a standstill. Grimly he reflects: "Better...
...Roman Catholic in the tiny Mato Grosso town of Campo Grande on what was then the woolly fringe of Brazil's wild western frontier. His home was a rented room over a barbershop, where his mother, Leonor da Silva Quadros, the daughter of a small-time immigrant Argentine cattleman, tried to keep house, and where his pharmacist father, Gabriel, made life miserable for them both. Gabriel, says one of Quadros' close friends, "was abnormal-a real villain with a mania for women, displaying constant aggressiveness toward his son and wife." Pursued by bill collectors, the family flitted from...
