Unanimous Censure. With Wilson pitted against the press, the argument was not about to die down. But in an effort to cool it, the Prime Minister appointed three privy councilors to a committee of inquiry. He was soon sorry. Two weeks ago, the committee filed its report. Wilson, it said, was wrong. Another man might have apologized and let the matter drop. The Prime Minister did neither.

Scientists have investigated a number of less spectacular alewife "die-offs" in recent years, but they still have conflicting theories about the cause of the phenomenon.

Others suggest that plankton-tiny water plants and animals on which alewives feed-suddenly begin dying just as the fish are crowding into coastal waters in the spring. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Biologist Melvin Greenwood theorizes that the alewives are killed by sudden temperature drops caused...
...trout, salmon and fishermen have their jobs cut out for them. Despite the deaths of hundreds of millions of ale wives in the current die-off, there are still an estimated 175 billion in Lake Michigan alone...

This does not necessarily mean that other papers may soon fold. Wags about town are pointing out, however, that the Record-American has made public no plans for a new printing plant although its current plant, a Victorian monstrosity, is slated for destruction in an urban renewal project...
