...News felt so good about everything was not easy to discern. After a show of stubbornness, it yielded to the striking New York Newspaper Guild on nearly every contested point, including dues checkoff (automatic payroll deduction of Guild dues). Even the wage settlement in the new two-year contract-ranging from $3.50 a week more for copy boys to $10.50 for reporters-was far nearer the Guild's original demand than management's first offer. The News also suffered another embarrassment. The New York Times, not directly involved in the strike, was actively involved in ending...
...STRUCK-NOT STRUCK OUT." boasted the New York Daily News in a Page One headline. But there was little enough to brag about. Despite a walkout of 1,123 Newspaper Guild members, the News struggled into print with one skimpy 16-page issue-run off on Hearst's Journal-American presses.

Last week, the story of the knight Walther's love for the goldsmith's daughter Eva, and of how he won both her and the mastersingers' song contest...
With a waiver from the Screen Actors Guild, the show often uses non-actors as extras when skills are required that actors could not readily acquire-machinists, bakers, athletes. It would be vastly simpler to shoot the whole thing in a studio, but the show savors the authentic sights and sounds of the city. By now, the crew has learned to cope with almost anything...
