...These should have been in your paper," he scolded. "You are ignoring news important to 65% of the people-and missing a good bet." As an experiment, Seltzer hired him at $35 a week. Soon, in a homely, rough-cut column called "Around the World in Cleveland," new and jawbreaking names began to appear in the Press. Known in the office either as the "Hunky" or "broken-English" editor, to whom every mustached office visitor was automatically referred, Andrica worked tirelessly to promote giant dance festivals and international exhibits (one drew 150,000 people), organized a Council for American Unity...
Tied for second in the scoring column were forward Johnny Gantt, and replacement Don Swegan, both of whom weighted in with 12 point totals. Lou Decsi and Saul Mariaschin rounded out the double figure scores with ten each...
Winston Churchill, last in Cuba as an impetuous young lieutenant taking a first excited peek at a shooting war, returned after 51 years of a roving commission. In 1895 he had ridden (as an observer) with a Spanish column pursuing Cuban rebels through the bullet-buzzing jungle; now he rode in a motorcade through Havana streets choked with Churchill-cheering crowds.

When he tried to boost it higher and was offered a pay cut instead, F.P.A. submerged, surfaced his "Conning Tower" again on the New York Post. The Post fired him in 1941 because the Adams style of poetry a la Horace and Herrick was too fancy for the subway trade...
...tabloid New York Post, whose sawed-off columns are already top-heavy with columnists (the Post prints 35), last week found room for one more. The new column, "This Little World," came from an old hand. Moustached, spaniel-eyed Franklin Pierce Adams, 64, got his start in 1903, grinding out columns for $25 a week on the old Chicago Journal. When he manned the "Conning Tower" in the old New York World, such wits and literary wights as Dorothy Parker and John O'Hara were among his unpaid contributors...
