...News is not totally oblivious to a changing world. One of the reasons Publisher E. Earl Hawkes left the Hearst papers for the News in 1964 was a promise that he would not have to put out a "church house organ." Indeed, the News is sometimes at odds with conventional Mormon opinion. The paper got a lot of criticism when it ran a story about Interior Secretary Stewart Udall's criticism of the church position that Negroes are the descendants of Cain and hence ineligible for the priesthood. Himself a Mormon, Udall argued that Founder Joseph Smith held...
...printing presses, there isn't much call for a sensational newspaper. And in a city that sees nearly 20 editions of its newspapers a day, there is even less call for a second-rate paper. Try as it might (and it did try) the Traveler could never out-Hearst Hearst's BostonRecord-American, nor could it ever be as chatty and informal (and theTraveler tried this too) as the Taylor Family's Boston Globe.

After a couple of chapters, it becomes apparent that the Shannon family is strictly fictitious and any resemblance to a real American family is coincidental - or, at any rate, deplorable.

"One thing you've got to have is a modern plant," says Vincent Manno, the New York newspaper broker who brought Hearst, Howard and Whitney together for the ill-fated W.J.T. merger. "You can't spend less than $25 million and have the kind of plant necessary to put out a paper in the city of New York. A fully automated plant contemplates that the unions would permit...
...than the soldierly bearing that carried him through life. He taught himself, imperfectly, the art of poetry and, with more success, how to write taut and economical prose. Then he squandered the education on venomous hack work for West Coast literary journals and as a columnist for William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner. He never wrote anything longer than a short story; he was not in the habit of writing a paragraph when just a word would do. The Devil's Dictionary, a lexicon of Bierce's scorn for mankind and all its institutions -now expanded...
