Consolidation. As a result, the era when newspapers produced some of America's great fortunes (e.g., Hearst, E. W. Scripps, Pulitzer, et al.) is past. Publishers who like to consider themselves primarily "editorial men" find themselves spending more and more time on business affairs. Even such dailies as the wealthy, institutionalized New York Times, which has about 4,700 employees on its payroll, have been hard hit.

Even after Broun died, terrible-tempered Westbrook Pegler did not forgive him, or his close circle of newspaper friends. Last week the ancient feud erupted in the trial of a $500,000 libel suit. Defendant: Columnist Pegler and Hearst corporations, which syndicate and publish his column. Plaintiff: Broun's old friend, onetime War Correspondent Quentin Reynolds, who five years ago invited Pegler's wrath by reviewing a biography of Broun for the New York Herald Tribune. Pegler took part...
