...each week, by dictating to his wife, John Kidder does a column ("Sittin' and Rockin' ") for the Ronan Pioneer (circ. 1,425). This month, appealing for contributions to the March of Dimes, Columnist Kidder recalled his doctor's reassuring words early in his own illness: "Don't worry about the hospital expense, John-the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will take care of it." It has. So far, in the care of John Kidder, the foundation and its chapters have expended at least 140,000 dimes...
...only justified monopoly," the founder of the Kansas City (Mo.) Star was fond of saying, "is the monopoly of excellence." By trying to practice this maxim advocated by Founder William Rockhill Nelson, the 72-year-old evening Star (circ. 361,226), together with its morning edition, the Times (353,202), has built a monopoly reaching into 96% of all Kansas City homes, and stretching into communities on both the Kansas and the Missouri sides of the Missouri River. Like the county clerk's office, the Star has become such a public institution that it dutifully prints news items...
Texas' Galveston, once a pirate hideout, has earned an equally robust reputation in recent years for freewheeling vice, gambling, prostitution and illegal liquor traffic. The Galveston papers, the morning News (circ. 17,510) and evening Tribune (circ. 11,909), both owned by 87-year-old Financier W. L. Moody Jr., do not get excited about it.

But their little brother and Galveston County neighbor, the Texas City Sun (circ. 4,573), which is also owned...
...oldest, richest paper in Washington, the Evening Star (circ. 226,000) is the capital's only real home-town daily. While other Washington dailies vie for national prestige and influence, the Star acts as Washington's devoted housewife, fighting as hard for good garbage disposal in the District as for good government in the nation. Like any efficient housekeeper, the Star seldom wastes anything, every day prints almost all the 200,000 words that file into its city room over the A.P. wire. Although its coverage of the government, Capitol Hill and the world is more complete than...
...what he wants with the paper, may drop as many as 1,000 staffers from the Graphic's payroll. With the Graphic in hand, Lord Rothermere can wage a two-front war against 1) the Mirror, in the tabloid field, 2) the respected, full-size Daily Telegraph (circ. 991,092), which is owned by Lord Camrose, Kemsley's brother (TIME, Aug. 4). To wage his war, Rothermere can tone down his Daily Mail to lure readers from the Telegraph, jazz up the Graphic to fight the Mirror...
