...newspapers in the Deep South have handled the hot desegregation story with the courage of South Carolina's Florence Morning News (circ. 14,219).

Last week, though the Enquirer (circ. 206,408) is Cincinnati's most prosperous daily, the experiment came to failure. A block of securities that ensures working control of the paper went on sale to the highest bidder...
...information about a crime? Long tradition says he should. But legally-except in twelve states that have laws reinforcing the tradition-he has no more right than any other citizen to withhold information. In Fort Worth last week, William Prescott Allen, 60, publisher of the Laredo, Texas Times (circ. 15,283), faced the choice of revealing sources or going to jail...
