...Advocate has a number of interesting critical tenets. To qualify as an Advocate editor, a young man chooses as parents second-generation nouveaux, preferably the youngest and thus farthest removed progeny of a robber baron.

Last week Executive Editor George Cornish-the same man who fired Woodward for "Whitey" Reid in 1948-fired Sports Editor Cooke. His successor: Rufus Stanley Woodward (Amherst...
