...content as their city cousins. Chicago's Arlington Heights Herald and seven other suburban weeklies (combined circ. 20,630) owned by Paddock Publications led all U.S. weeklies last year in advertising volume. Cleveland's Heights Sun-Press (circ. 29,000), serving 14 communities, runs a regular Washington column on subjects that affect suburbanites, boasts that none of the political candidates or school bond issues it has backed in twelve years has been defeated...
...South, many weeklies have consistently taken a more liberal stand than the region's big dailies on the touchy desegregation issue. In the midst of the race riots in Clinton, Tenn., last December, Weekly Editor Horace Wells's Page One Courier-News column calmly argued for peaceful integration of Clinton's high school, helped elect a pro-integration slate to the city council (TIME, Dec. 17). "How long," asked the Courier-News at the height of the hoodlumism, "are the people of Clinton going to continue to sit idly by and see their officials kicked around merely...
Deliberate Satire? Last week as Popo, 38, celebrated her first birthday as Abby Van Buren, she was the fastest rising lonelyheart columnist in the U.S. So quickly has her Dear Abby column caught on that it now appears in some 80 U.S. newspapers, from New York's garter-snapping Daily Mirror (circ. 842,023) to the sobersided Portland Oregonian (181,910), only a dozen fewer syndicate clients than carry sister Ann Landers, whose real name is Mrs. Jules ("Eppie") Lederer. This makes Abby the fourth-ranking U.S. lovelornist, after Dorothy Dix, Mary Haworth and Ann Landers...
...Abby's swift climb is the more remarkable because her column often reads like a parody of other lovelornists. In fact, San Franciscans at first thought that Abby even concocted her own letters as a deliberate takeoff. One letter to the Chronicle that is still quoted with glee came from a girl who confessed: "My boy friend took me out on my 21st birthday and wanted to show me a very special good time. I usually don't go in much for drinking, but I had three martinis. During dinner we split a bottle of wine. After dinner...
...Chicago Daily Tribune, whose masthead daily proclaims it "The World's Greatest Newspaper," devoted 97 inches of news space last week to what it considered the world's greatest story. In a full column on Page One, the Trib reported breathlessly that Reuters' Editor Walton ("Tony") Cole, "the editor of the world's greatest international newsgathering organization," and Trib Correspondent Larry Rue, "one of the world's most famous foreign correspondents," had flown in from London and Vienna, respectively, on a weighty mission. The mission: to tell 400 members of the Trib's editorial...
