...Liberty. The self-styled "weekly for everybody" folded in 1950 after a quarter-century of high circulation but low profits.

His efforts proved insufficient last week to capture the necessary 75% of the delegates at a party caucus. But Mrs. Romney, 60, who had earlier insisted that she would run only if her party drafted her, declared as a candidate anyway. Though she is the kind of candidate...
