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.

...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.
