After his nine-month stint ended. Pulitzer moved to St. Louis. He took a reporting job with the German-language Westliche Post and made it his business to expose graft wherever he could find it. At 22 he was elected to the state house of representatives-although his political career was damaged when in a burst of rage he shot a local politician in the leg. Pulitzer paid his $100 fine and went back to journalism. At 31, he bought the bankrupt St. Louis Dispatch, merged it three days later with the smaller Post. He shocked St. Louis by lambasting...

Bigness is no longer something for which steelmakers of the war-splintered Ruhr have to apologize. With fierce competition in the steel market, mergers to streamline production are becoming a must for survival. For a year now, 29 German steel producers have been coordinating their sales and investments through four regional cartels regarded as laboratories for eventual mergers. Last week two major steel companies, the legendary August Thyssen-Hütte and the oldest Ruhr steel producer, Hüttenwerk Oberhausen A.G. (HOAG), announced merger plans that would make them the world's fourth largest steel company, after...
