...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. News and Information Service, as the venture is called, originates from the old Monitor studio in Rockefeller Center and is fed live over telephone lines to subscribing stations for 50 minutes of every...

But that didn't stop him from greeting Wilson as the savior of the proletariat the world over, the man who was going to maintain old-fashioned American democratic ideals and smash "the Hohenzollern Hog". That most first-hand observers of the war saw in it few old-fashioned American ideals, and certainly little salvation for the proletariat the world over--just a lot of carnage and death and maybe some profits--didn't matter. All Ives's energy, all his critical will and assertive independence...
