...Democratic Party, which hammered away at the "one-party press" during the last campaign, this week puts out its own unusual answer. On newsstands all over the country and out to subscribers went 100,000 copies of a brand-new, 25?, adless, pocket-size monthly: Democratic Digest, the first commercial magazine ever published by a major U.S. political party. On its cover is a Republican elephant sitting behind a desk reading from a large book titled How to Balance the Budget, while a smaller volume concealed inside is called How to Break 90.

Its objective: to present the Democratic Party's point of view in an effort to counteract what Fair Dealing columnists and commentators love to call "the one party," i.e., pro-Republican press. Party leaders hope to sell the Digest...

"Peters," it seemed, was really Robert Parkins, an Anglican priest who had been arrested in Britain for bigamy. He had never been to Oxford or taken an M.A. at Adelaide; nor had he earned a music degree from Durham...
