In the case of the Berlin story, TIME'S function was to supply the information and intelligence that would help the reader to be knowledgeable about Berlin rather than to fret over it. In the case of the Chicago fire, TIME had another task-to take the facts of tragedy and mold them into a compelling narrative of misfortune and error. See NATIONAL AFFAIRS, The Chicago School Fire...
Drink to Me Only (by Abram S. Ginnes and Ira Wallach) is one of those titles that proclaim something farcical while not guaranteeing anything funny. The play is indeed an anything-goes sort of script, and all too much of it goes awry.

...Arbor. After setting a meet record in the 200-yd. butterfly (2:04.2), tireless Tony came back to tie the meet record in the 100-yd. butterfly (0:54.6), boosted the Wolverines to 72 points and the championship. ¶ Winter-book bettors got some new form to fret over when Kentucky Derby hopefuls went to the post in both Florida and New York. Artfully steered by Champion Jockey Willie Hartack, Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn worked his way between horses to catch lightly favored Lincoln Road and win Gulfstream's Florida Derby by half a length.
