Last and least on last week's list was Re-Vue, edited by slender Fillmore Hyde, 43, sometime writer of the New Yorker's "Talk of the Town," former executive editor for News-Week and Today. Rehashed in almost almanac form was news of the month of March, interspersed with brief summary articles in a "snappy" vein, and with astonishingly crude line drawings and maps. Hope for Re-Vue's surviving resided chiefly in its list of financial backers which included William Hale Harkness, President Thomas R. Coward of Coward-McCann, Inc., William Gilman...
Editorial offices buzzed early this year when Charles Fulton Oursler, 44, well-paid editor-in-chief for Bernarr Macfadden's 5? weekly Liberty magazine, popped into the spotlight with a $150,000 libel suit against his employer's estranged wife, Mary Macfadden (TIME, Feb. 1). Editor Oursler charged she had written three nasty letters about him, one to New Jersey's Governor Hoffman, two to Hoffman's secretary. One of the alleged letters went so far as to suggest that Mr. Oursler might have conspired the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, intending to glorify Bernarr Macfadden by having...

In seven years as its editor & publisher, she has seen its circulation rise from...
When a newspaper editor writes a best-selling editorial, that's news. Such news was made 41 years ago when a 28-year-old, redheaded, roly-poly country editor named William Allen White of The Emporia Gazette wrote for his 485 subscribers a scorching editorial against Bryan's Populists, called What's the Matter with Kansas?* Famed Republican Boss Mark Hanna plastered the U. S. with it in the McKinley-Bryan campaign, offered its author his pick of a job; big city dailies did the same. Editor White turned down both offers, but did not drop...
