...London last week, Prime Minister Winston Churchill dropped a libel suit against the London Daily Mirror, world's largest (circ. 4,500,000) daily newspaper. Churchill charged that the paper libeled him (TIME, Dec. 31) by implying, on the day of the last general election, that he was a warmonger. He withdrew his suit after the Mirror agreed to pay full court costs, print a front-page apology, and make a contribution to a charitable fund for elderly people that Churchill named. Said the Mirror's apology: "The statements and pictures referred to never intended to suggest that...
Among Paris' 14 French-language dailies, one paper-Le Monde (circ. 150,000) -stands head & shoulders above the rest. Though "neutralist" in politics, its devotion to responsibility in journalism is such that it is often called the New York Times of Paris. A fortnight ago Le Monde readers got a shock.

Ever since the late great Joseph Pulitzer's death in 1911, his St. Louis Post-Dispatch under his son and namesake, now 67, has maintained its tradition for digging beneath the news and exposing malefactors.

LIFE International, already the biggest English-language magazine in South America (circ. 48,000), will base its rates for advertisers in its new edition on 100,000 circulation.

Across the top of Page One, the Washington Star (circ. 226,573) splashed an eight-column banner: GENERAL EISENHOWER SUBMITS RESIGNATION. The story, under the byline of Columnist Doris Fleeson, reported that Ike's resignation "is at the White House." Columnist Fleeson had scored a small beat. Capital newsmen had been nibbling at the story, but none had said straight out that it was on the President's desk. The Star's confidence in Doris Fleeson's sources was not misplaced. Next day, the White House confirmed the news (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS...
