...Israelis argue that the Arab refugees would create a potential fifth column in their young state. They point with alarm to thinly veiled references in Arab newspapers to the "coming second round" (i.e., of the Palestine war). The Israeli offer to admit some of the refugees provided they can get the Gaza strip from Egypt is generally regarded as an evasion, because no one seriously expects Egypt to cede the Gaza strip unless Israel, in return, gives up part of the Negeb area. This possibility is considered even more fantastic because the Negeb, Israel's southern desert, has become...

But the tabloid's biggest circulation-puller was a lively column of double-meaning "Strictly Personal" want ads, which sniggering newsmen on other Los Angeles papers suspected Mirror staffers of writing themselves. Sample: "Man with lavender shirt that's a dilly would like to meet lady with blue dress that's a dilly. Object lavender blue dilly dilly. Box K-47. Mirror...

These and similar whoppers, punctuated by dramatic organ chords, have raised eyebrows and blood pressure among sport-writers. The late Lloyd Lewis blasted the Lincoln story in a sports page editorial in the Chicago Daily News; the New York Herald Tribune's Red Smith devoted a column to Stern fancies. Some editors, like the New York World-Telegram's Joe Williams, feel that Sports Newsreel is a misnomer. To Stern, the point is scarcely worth arguing. "It isn't a sports show, it's entertainment for the same kind of people who listen to Jack Benny...
