...days before they were due to cast primary ballots in a special election to pick Joe McCarthy's Senate successor, Wisconsin voters got some eleventh-hour advice from the influential (circ. 354,879) Milwaukee Journal. The Journal front-paged a cartoon of a circus tent and six sideshows, dubbed them former Governor Walter J. (for Jodok) Kohler Jr. and his six G.O.P. opponents. Warned the caption: "Don't be taken in by the sideshows." The voters weren't. In an election where total returns were slimmed to 460,000 (out of 2,200,000 eligibles) by summer...
...work on the old Middletown Signal. He always had "a passionate interest in newspapers." Turning passion into profit, he put the Dayton Daily News into the black in less than five years after he bought the paper (for $26,000) in 1898, bought the Dayton Journal-Herald (current circ. 93,290), the Springfield, Ohio morning Sun (17,874) and Daily News (30,044) while expanding into Georgia and Florida (where the Miami Daily News is the only Cox paper that is not solidly in the black...

Reason: Crosby had been charged with racketeering by Gambler Jim Elkins, who also led Oregonian...
Though hardly an impartial critic, since Temoignage (circ. 66,593) has frequently been in hot water for criticizing Algerian policy, Editor Vial documented such reprisals as the imprisonment of Resistance Heroine Claude Gerard on charges of "endangering external security" with a series of stories from Algeria that appeared in Demain (TIME, June 11, 1956), the weekly organ of Mollet's own Socialist Party...
Modern Britons know better than to pack up their troubles in their old kit-bags. Instead, more than 130,000 suffering souls each year write, telephone or wire their woes to the cockney-sharp Daily Mirror (circ. 4,723,131) or its scandal-breathing sister, the Sunday Pictorial (5,709,893). Encouraged by occasional black-boxed invitations in both tabloids (DON'T WORRY ON YOUR OWN), Mirror readers address their problems to one Philip Wright, while the Pictorial asks the woebegone to confide in its John Noble...
