...find fitting words for the 100th anniversary of the late great Joseph Pulitzer's-birth, his St. Louis Post-Dispatch last week had only to recall a few of his own. It led off a 20-page memorial section with the platform J.P. had nailed to the Post-Dispatch's masthead on his 60th birthday...
...general, the Department of Commerce estimated that 1947's first quarter net profits for U.S. industry were at the rate of $15 billion, 25% over 1946.

Wilson, Columbus Dispatch drama critic and dean of Columbus reviewers, wrote that Moon is "the playwright's present towering achievement as a dramatic craftsman and above all as a poet . . . full of sentiment, music and meaning, warmth of human observation and comment, and vast sorrowfulness." Bud Kissel of the Columbus Citizen disputed: "A competent cast that never muffed a line nor missed a cue wasted their talents on an unimportant play." But Mary McGavran of the Ohio State Journal called the play "beautiful in its very ugliness." And William F. McDermott of the Cleveland Plain...
