...dingy, poorly-lit room in the basement of the State House. Yesterday about 500 people jammed into it for the Legal Affairs Committee's hearing on U. U01, the socalled "pet seizure" act. About three-quarters of this audience were wrinkled old ladies, steamed up by the Hearst press and the Anti-Vivisection League. The rest were mostly medical students, there to support the bill, which authorizes research on certain impounded animals...
...image of doctors muttering midnight incantations over the sufferings of mute beasts is ridiculous enough to make most non-Hearst readers laugh at the anti-vivisectionists. They should. Two years ago the anti-vivisectionists paraded a steady stream of pet-owners to the State House for hearings on the Miles-Nolan vivisection bill. They have now a marshaled stack of theological arguments, most of them stating that the merciful shall obtain mercy, and that what has been formed by God should not be deformed by man.

...Hearst's Los Angeles Examiner cried that "we should come home to our own country," while Hearst's other Los Angeles paper, the Herald & Express, was saying: "The situation is serious but not hopeless . . .

Sure that few Angelenos were doing anything, the Examiner printed a coupon entitling them to get their insurance policies and other documents microfilmed at Examiner headquarters for 25?/ apiece. The Examiner promised, in addition, to deposit one copy safely in a vault in Colorado Springs. One Examiner reader was unimpressed...
...leap, from a seventh-floor hotel room; in Manhattan. Reporter Boettiger met energetic Anna Roosevelt Dall while covering her father's 1932 campaign for the Chicago Tribune. Three years later, after both won divorces, they were married in the Roosevelts' Manhattan town house. In 1936, Hearst hired the Boettigers to take over his shaky Seattle Post Intelligencer. Publisher John and Women's Editor Anna made the paper editorially pro-Administration, financially healthier. Leaving Hearst in 1945, they lost a fortune trying to start a paper in Phoenix, Ariz. Boettiger left the paper in 1948, shortly thereafter...
