Hearst's afternoon daily, the Herald & Express, has had a high turnover in city editors. One reason is the managing editor, crusty, hard-riding John B. T. Campbell, who used to be city editor himself and still acts like one; he is a fast man with the pink slip. Managing Editor Campbell has been firing city editors at the rate of two a year; in the process he virtually reduced the job to schedule-shuffling while he bossed the show from a city-room desk. What Campbell needed was somebody who could put up with him, and if need...
Aggie has been a worker in city rooms for 21 years, first on the old Los Angeles Record, and for the past 15 years on the Herald & Express.

The New York Herald Tribune's critic wrote: "An unusually promising young musician whose talent seems to be following a normal and judicious course of development, he should become an artist of exceptional consequence...
...York Post and PM ("Even if bits of our hide are tacked on the radio tower") gave the show a favorable review. So did the Herald Tribune's Columnist John Crosby ("It took courage . . . zeal and discretion"). Four Manhattan dailies gave it the silent treatment. (Snarled one editor: "The papers could do a better job on radio any week.") But the public liked it; more than 350 letters piled into CBS the first week. Encouraged, Hollenbeck promised soon to turn a "detached, noncommittal eye" on wire services and newsmagazines, as well as on the newspapers' columnists, comic...
