...veteran of 36 years on the paper, and Executive Editor Edward C. Lapping were getting even more suspicious than their readers. Last week they called in Reporter Stewart and ordered him to produce the mother-or else. Sadly, Reporter Stewart admitted the awful truth: the story was a fake. He was fired out of hand...
...technique of "forgery by typewriter." A "typewriter engineer" has built them a machine that they are sure can turn out documents indistinguishable from those typed on the Woodstock introduced in evidence. And if this is true, they argue, it is possible that the typewriter at the trial was a fake.

BREGE (LUTHERAN) Grand Haven, Mich...
...second feature, "Mr. Imperium," was even more disappointing. Lana Turner turned in one of her most insipid performances as a mid-western showgirl racing after an Italian king. The sound track did no justice to Ezio Pinza's voice and the fake scenery ruined one possible justification for this Technicolor film. Armchair tourists, however, may enjoy a few authentic shots of Italy...
