...Guatemala, Correspondent Rosenhouse toured the front, where troops rebelling against President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes were battling the regular army. He found no sign of direct Castro support to the rebels as Ydígoras claimed. When he tried to dispatch his story, Ydígoras' police tossed Rosenhouse into solitary for five hours in a windowless adobe cell. After the U.S. consul pleaded Rosenhouse's case, Ydígoras finally hauled the correspondent onto the carpet for a bit of bland but pointed advice: follow the government line-or else. The advice came a little late...
...Clark McAdams Clifford is an old man by the actuarial tables of "Operation Kennedy," but he was once a young lion of Democratic politics himself. The son of well-to-do parents and nephew of a crusading editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he was a model boy with golden ringlets, went from law school into a prosperous St. Louis law firm, became a flashy and prosperous trial lawyer with a godlike blond profile that wowed the female jurors...

Says one Post-Dispatchman: 'We're harder to read, we're long as hell, and sometimes we're not as bright as we should be. But a serious reader has to see the Post-Dispatch to know what...
Justly famed as one of the few truly distinguished U.S. newspapers, the evening St. Louis Post-Dispatch has long paraded across its local press landscape with its nose held high in the air, hardly deigning to admit that its competition even existed. But no longer. As of now, the liberal, articulate P-D is engaged in a circulation fight and it is throwing men, money and even Tangle Town puzzles into the struggle. Concedes Post-Dispatch Business Manager Fred Rowden: "It may not be appealing, but you have to get down and meet the competition on his own level...
