...Scott-Free. Grabbing his readers by their lapels. Editor Scott ran an expose of shyster used-car dealers that put the worst offender out of business, followed up with a story on a bogus real estate firm that led to three indictments for fraud. He front-paged an account of Vancouver's skid-row bread line, side by side with a Canadian Press story saying that Kraft Foods Ltd. blamed the high cost of food on the consumer demand for fancy preparation. Even Publisher Crornie did not get off Scott-free. The Sun ran a three-part analysis...
Scott sent Managing Editor Himie Koshevoy to Washington to do a three-part series on John Foster Dulles that turned out more balanced than the Sun's bitterly anti-Dulles editorials. Down to Uruguay bustled Newshen Simma Holt to find Stefan Sorokin, leader of the buff-stripping, dynamiting Sons of Freedom sect of the Doukhobors, filed stories of the wealth Sorokin had gleaned from his followers in British Columbia...
Heat & Light. Scott's most startling idea was to send to Formosa monosyllabic Football Editor Annis (the "Loquacious Lithuanian") Stukus, onetime coach of the Edmonton Eskimos and British Columbia Lions. Scott's theory: "Stukus will give the average guy a sense of identification with where the hell Formosa is and what's going on there."

Though the session produced nothing new, Scott delightedly ran Footballer Stukus' picture cheek by jowl with the Gimo on the front page...
Never had one of Lois' releases invoked such attention from newsmen. Sniffed the American Motel Magazine: "The lowest form of humor." Fumed Executive Editor Bill Powell of the Paducah (Ky.) Sun-Democrat: "If you birds have no more respect for your place, or no more judgment than this, please stop sending us stones." Mused amused Columnist Stan Windhorn of the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune: "In sheer honesty, we must express an admiration for this curious bit of candor, but from the practical point of view we must confess that it seems a terribly long...
Married. John Edward Poynder Grigg, second Baron Altrincham, 34, monarchist editor of the National and English Review, whose 1957 analysis of "The Monarchy Today" thoughtfully explored the Crown's position in a world where "republics are the rule," but earned him inglorious publicity for his choice of phrases about the Queen's speaking style ("a pain in the neck") and manner ("that of a priggish schoolgirl, captain of the hockey team"); and Marian Campbell, 27, editor of a youth magazine published by Altrincham; in Tormarton, England...
