Fronia plunged into publishing with her usual gusto, dividing her time between bank and paper. She brightened up Ironton's Center Street by converting one of her buildings into a Courier plant, with a shiny new chrome-and-glass façade. Circulation of the paper grew to 7,576, not far behind its afternoon rival, the 28-year-old Ironton Tribune (circ. 9,280). But Publisher Sexton proved to be an erratic newswoman.

Everybody knows the strains and weaknesses of France, the indecisions and diversions in Washington: everybody hears of injustice in a county seat. But who was falsely accused last week in Omsk (pop. 281,000)? What scandals could the newspapers print, if they dared, in Shenyang (nee Mukden)? Over one-fourth the earth's surface was dark silence, broken only by the persistent loudspeaker proclaiming the solidarity and monolithic will of the leadership. But if the solidarity was there, it need not be proclaimed...
