...course, the morning Times and evening Star (combined circ. 725,000) would continue to blanket Kansas and western Missouri, as the biggest paper in both states. "The boss of the Star," a businessman-politician reflected last week, "is the most important man in Kansas at any given moment-more important than Alf Landon, Arthur Capper, Clyde Reed, all the congressmen and the Governor all wrapped up together. The State of Kansas is exactly what the Star wants it to be; it won't change until the Star decides it's time." The Star lived in the same city...

During the war Hap Arnold bought a ranch in Jack London's famed Valley of the Moon, and told his next-door neighbors, co-Publishers Walter and Celeste Murphy, that he'd like to write for their weekly some time.
