ROOSEVELT ASKS DICTATOR'S ROLE cried the headline next day in Hearst's New York Sunday Mirror. With unemployment still climbing and much of the banking system shut down, there was indeed a widespread sense that the American political system was getting its last chance. "The biggest and finest crop of little revolutions I ever saw is ripe all over this country right now," a Farmers' Union leader testified before a Senate committee.

Michael Foot is, after all, not a professional man of letters. He is a politician, the leader of Britain's Labor Party, and, as such, his country's shadow Prime Minister...
...dominant, it does not make much difference what the Herald does." Worse, Boston's new tabloid may not have very long to make the formula work. Last, week the Boston Globe reported that Herald Advertising Director Robert Lange told the paper's advertisers in July that the Hearst Corp. will give the paper just 3½ months to prove it can make it; otherwise it will be shut down. That report was followed by an even more discouraging silence: neither Hearst nor Herald American officials were willing to comment...
