...four years, Denverites lapped up Molly's flip and saucy column with their breakfast coffee. More than anything else, "Dear Mrs. Mayfield" has helped step up the New's circulation from a doddering 40,000 to more than 86,000, challenging enough to keep the Denver Post (circ. 192,991) on its toes. Besides dispensing free advice, Molly collects snapping turtles, pianos and goldfish from people who don't want them for those who do.

His third updating of the famed Collier's Collects Its Wits album, I Meet Such People, will be out in the fall. Philadelphia's Satevepost sends its humor editor John Bailey...
...Next day the Republican Statesman used an entire editorial column to bail out the Democratic governor and bawl out its free-swinging columnist. Vardis Fisher quit in a huff, looked for another soapbox. Last week, readers who really missed him had to buy a tiny upstart weekly called Statewide (circ. 5,000). Fisher and his new editor were getting along fine...
