HERE IS THE ENEMY, read the headline in the monthly newssheet (circ. 65,000) of the White Citizens' Councils of America. Inside a black-bordered box were listed 74 "organizations appearing in House and Senate committee records as favoring 'civil rights' and anti-South force legislation during 1957 and 1959." Among them: Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, American Veterans Committee, Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, N.A.A.C.P., Catholic Interracial Council, the Protestant Episcopal Church, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Methodist Church, United Automobile...
...American Newspaper Guild, which has contracts with all three San Francisco papers, for years has cast longing eyes at a prosperous neighbor across the bay, the Oakland Tribune (circ. 208,029). Repeatedly, the Guild attempted to organize the Tribune, repeatedly it failed. But last week, trying once more to move to Oakland, the union found strength in a new source: staff discontent with the regime of the Tribune's assistant publisher.

Out went some of Tuesday's boring repetitions of what Pravda, the only-paper in Russia with a Monday edition, had said the day before. On the front page, once the unassailable domain of party catechisms, news stories surprisingly appeared, and the ponderous headlines (A CLEAR DEMONSTRATION OF THE UNITY OF THE SOVIET PEOPLE AND OF RALLYING AROUND THE COMMUNIST PARTY) became downright breezy (I VISITED THE VINNITSA SPY CENTER...
...dingy, fourth-floor Manhattan offices resemble a countinghouse out of Charles Dickens. There is no city room rush, no Teletype staccato. The 27 staffers are mostly elderly women. Yet the weekly German-language Aufbau (Reconstruction) is one of the biggest (circ. 30,129) and most influential foreign-language papers in the U.S. Edited by stocky, effervescent Dr. (of Law) Manfred George, 66, Aufbau is an outstanding example of a paper that has bucked a 50-year-long decline in the U.S. foreign-language press.* This week, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Waldorf dinner, Aufbau can and does...
