...loss of the Times leaves Indianapolis to the morning Star (circ. 224,000) and the afternoon News (circ. 173,000), both owned by Eugene C. Pulliam. While the Star often sees the news in the light of its owner's conservative political views, it is also a hard-digging, aggressive paper, which readers seem to enjoy even when it makes them furious. In fact, Pulliam's politics are not all that predictable. The Star, for example, supported winning Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Roger Branigin...
Nowhere has the attempt to justify Japan's role in World War II been argued more vehemently than in the prestigious intellectual monthly Chuo Koron (circ. 180,000), which recently concluded a 16-part series by Novelist Fusap Hayashi.

By terminating the U.S.-Japanese treaty of commerce in 1939, and then putting an embargo on petroleum exports to Japan, Roosevelt left Tokyo with "no alternative but to move south for resources...

In fact, both men take turns running the bank-and supervising its 184 vice presidents-because each of them spends about half of his time on business trips. Between them, Moore and Rockefeller log up to 300,000 miles a year, visit every country in which Citibank does...
...Houston Post. Steven souped up local coverage, added a few sparkling features and massively reported the doings at the Houston space-flight center. The Chronicle overtook the Houston Post in 1963 and became Texas' largest paper. Thanks in part to its purchase last year of the Houston Press (circ. 89,000), the Chronicle under Steven increased its circulation by a third...
Died. George R. Lamade, 71, second-generation publisher of the conservative, family-owned weekly newspaper Grit (circ. 1,170,000), a favorite in 16,000 U.S. small towns, who kept up his father's policy of salting the news with cracker-barrel sayings (sample: "When things begin to appear hopeless and desolate, try looking in the other direction."); by his own hand (gunshot); in Williamsport...
