...York Herald Tribune is emphatically succeeding in its effort to avoid looking, sounding or acting like the only other serious morning paper in Manhattan's field of four, the Times. Under a new editor, former Newsweek Editor John Denson, and backed by the drive and millions of John Hay Whitney, former U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, the Trib is steering a bold matutinal course. In a city that has more morning papers than it needs or wants, the Trib is trying to find a place all its own. Since last year, it has already...
...Michigan, Christmas was hay rides, throaty caroling and hot chocolate. In New England, it was plum pudding and frosty trees. In the German immigrant towns of Wisconsin, the old men drank cognac and Löwenbräu and listened damp-eyed to old recordings of long-gone Rhineland carillons.

By devaluating the Canadian dollar last June, the Tory government has helped spur exports 4.8% and shave Canada's deficit-of-payment imbalance. Unemployment has dropped to 318,000 (4.9% of the labor force). But on the debit side, Diefenbaker has failed to show how his government intends to meet the new challenge of world trade-particularly that posed...
After 45 years of riding the neighborhood circuits, the pure-bred Hollywood hay-burner sure is a sorry hunk of horseflesh. But this time, Director Michael Curtiz gives the critter a tolerable tricky ride. He rowels out a few bursts of speed, and when there's nothing left but wheezes he plays them for horse laughs...
