Glumly. Cohn returned to his Manhattan law practice, promised to do spare-time work for McCarthy's cause, and (at 27) dashed off his memoirs for the Hearst papers. McCarthy insisted that he would never be able to hire another counsel like Cohn. No one disputed him on that...
This new public airing of the family's wine-stained linen was apparently prompted by reports in the Hearst papers that Godfrey was in a firing mood because of intramural romancing among members of his cast. For this charge Godfrey had a grandly Godfreudian reply: "There is no girl on this show whose job is in jeopardy . . .

The local American Legion joined the attack, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars passed a resolution condemning "this planned corruption of the American children's minds." Eventually...
...last ten years only one big, new daily has been launched, the Los Angeles Mirror. It has cost Publisher Norman Chandler millions already, and is still losing at the rate of an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 a week. Last week the Mirror, along with Hearst's Los Angeles Herald & Express, raised its street-sale price from 7? to 10?. But publishers have found out that price increases are no solution to the cost squeeze (only two U.S. dailies still sell for 2?, only 22 for 3?), since circulation accounts for only about one-third of an average...
