When Editor Edward Frederick Kramer, 77, broke his arm in a fall on the ice last week, he feared he would miss publishing his weekly Oregon (Wis.) Observer (circ. 775) for the first time since he bought the paper in 1910. But in neighboring Madison, Publisher Don Anderson of the daily Wisconsin State Journal (circ. 75,653), read about the mishap to the Observer's one-man (and wife) staff. He rounded up three of his reporters, an advertising man and linotypist, drove ten miles to Oregon and put together an eight-page issue. Will Sumner Jr., editor...
Ever since the Tampa Tribune (circ. 105,248) and other Florida dailies began exposing crime and corruption in the state, Governor Fuller Warren has been battling against the papers. He has even threatened one of them with shutting off its sources of state government information. Last week the hard-digging Tribune (TIME, Jan. 8, 1951) uncovered another scandal right under Warren's nose.

Variety's only real trade-paper rival is the Hollywood Reporter (circ. about 7,000).

No one in movies is entirely safe from the heavy-heavy that Parsons, Hopper, Graham and other...
...preference, New York's tabloid Daily News (circ. 2,250,000) sticks to a sturdy guttural in judging the more delicate and esoteric works of man. But last week the News pulled the plug and let the adjectives flow for a new ballet...
...year-old Enquirer, Cincinnati's leading daily and its only morning and Sunday newspaper, was sold last week for $7,500,000. The buyer: Cincinnati's afternoon Times-Star (circ. 150,489), published by 74-year-old Hulbert Taft, whose cousin, Senator Bob Taft, owns 5% of the paper (TIME, Jan. 14). The Enquirer (circ. 185,283 daily, 269,415 Sunday) has been held in trust by Washington's American Security & Trust Co. since Owner John R. McLean died in 1916, and Washington's district court must still approve the sale. Under the deal, the Times...
