...main reason I'm not running is simply because I've only had a four-year crack at this Chronicle job from topside, and being a fathead I think I need a couple of more years anyhow. The dope is I'm sort of a squirt, a very egotistical one-so egotistical that I think I'm smart enough to know I haven't done the job with a newspaper yet. Maybe I'll wait and run for President...
Toughest. Moe Annenberg hates Dave Stern with a cold, unrelenting fury. Dave Stern belongs to the uppercrust of Philadelphia Jewish society and Moe Annenberg made his money selling racing dope. Besides, Dave Stern stands between Annenberg and domination of the morning field.

These men will continue to prosper, barring violence to their persons, as long as students lack pride in their own work and would just as soon "let George do it" for a few dollars. One slacker in the student body tends to ruin the morale of the whole, since such a one can boast to his working comrades...
...worth of narcotics a year, served a vast territory. Most surprising fact: that healthy, husky Texas is a dopey State. Rated next to Kansas City as consuming centres were Galveston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston. Nor is this because of the Mexican population. Texas has oil. Prostitutes follow oil workers. Dope goes with prostitutes. Most Texas addicts are Anglo-Saxons, some are children...
