...then, is Tuscola's tiny WITT plunging into that high-priced circle? Last week, for the first time, all-news radio was brought within the means of every 50-watt hymn-and-hog-price station in the nation. NBC, which has been taking losses since 1973 on its network radio broadcasts, is trying to reverse those fortunes with a round-the-clock, syndicated all-news package.

Paranoia often took the place of ineffective remedies. There were those who thought the bug was the Kaiser's secret weapon, despite the losses his own troops suffered. In Poland, the source of infection was said...
...rate Christmases and encouraging their kids to take part-time jobs. "We're not hurting-yet," says an heiress in New York's Westchester County. "But we've become aware for many reasons-environmental, social and fiscal-that we have lived unnecessarily high on the hog. You might say we're chickening out." Indeed, at a dinner party for ten with chicken rather than filet mignon as the entree and eliminating the caviar and Cointreau, a hostess can make considerable economies...
