With my Bulletin today I received a shock. Gone was the lively cover that used to adorn it. In its place, a format which could just as well be taken over with little change by the undertaker's association. From now on I shall be ashamed to show the Bulletin to my non-Harvard friends. Princeton has its orange and black, Yale its blue. Well, what the h... has happened to Harvard's Crimson...
...elder brother" of the magazine's editorial staff. Recognizing both the acute need for a change and the obstacles to be overcome, Hamlen in the summer of 1939 commissioned David T. Pottinger '06, associate director of the Harvard University Press, to design a completely new cover and inside format for the Bulletin. In the fall, Pottinger presented Hamlen with the new magazine he had wanted; the small, stuffy type on the inside had been replaced by an easier-reading style and re-arranged in double-column pages, and the cream cover had given way to a bright red one with...
...format for reviewing musicals this season has become sadly routine. The critics regularly begin by sighing that Shirley Booth (or Alfred Drake, or Gwen Verdon, or Jeanmaire) is delightful but that the show's book (or music, or lyrics, or both) is far below par.

Graham expects relatively clear sailing ahead. Said he: "(Buying the TH) was the culmination of Eugene Meyer's effort for the Post for over 20 years...
After Publisher Gardner ("Mike") Cowles folded pocket-size Quick last year, he quickly found a buyer for the magazine. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Publisher Walter Annenberg bought the title from Cowles for a reported $250,000, put out his own biweekly Quick in a larger format (TIME, July 20). Annenberg, who also publishes Seventeen, Daily Racing Form and Morning Telegraph, hoped to succeed where Mike Cowles failed by using his Inquirer gravure presses, selling no subscriptions or ads and sticking to newsstand sales. He estimated he could break even with 1,000,000 circulation. Last week Annenberg admitted defeat...
