...then, there has been trouble. New York papers, like most others, have been hard hit by spiraling costs (TIME, June 21) and by competition from TV; readers have moved out of the city, and even though they still commute to work in Manhattan, many have fallen into the bad habit of reading suburban papers. As a result, New York dailies have dropped 9% from the 1947 total circulation peak, although national newspaper circulation is at an alltime high of 54.5 million...
...precleaning turkeys so that they can be shoved into the oven with little work beforehand, the Swansons changed turkey from a Thanksgiving dish to a year-round habit, thereby doubling U.S. turkey-eating. Last week, at their newest $2,000,000 plant at Modesto, Calif., the Swansons were getting into peak production of a new product: a pre-stuffed frozen turkey.

Soul of a Sophomore. This week in Green Bay, the Lions again tested their habit, and Layne, as usual, made all the difference. Passing for two touchdowns, and running for a third, he beat the Packers 21-17. With only four games left to go (including a Thanksgiving-day rematch with the Packers), the Lions need only one more victory to sew up their third straight Western Conference championship...
