Karl Berngardovich Radek, the greatest journalist in Soviet Russia, repeatedly in recent years the spokesman of Joseph Stalin, and in recent months so potent that Moscow correspondents were calling him "the Second Foreign Commissar," was admitted by the Soviet Commissariat of Justice last week to be in jail awaiting trial for his life. Famed Journalist Radek (né Sobelsohn) suddenly "disappeared'" last month and neither his paper Izvestia ("News"), the official daily of the Soviet Government, nor any other Moscow organ printed a line as to the whereabouts of Communism's most popular commentator. According to such...
...YOUR TYPE on the woman's page of the Hearst Chicago Herald & Examiner, differed from the accepted standards of such journalism in two notable respects: 1) readers applying for the questionnaire were charged 25? for answers; 2) name signed to the column was that of no hack journalist, but of Irene Castle McLaughlin, America's pre-War Glamor Girl, now a Chicago socialite and that city's most noted dog-lover.

Two years ago two British writers, one a Glasgow slum dweller, the other a London journalist, turned their imaginative spyglass on the squalid, violent Gorbols section of Glasgow, on the south bank of the Clyde. Last week they reported on what they had seen, in a strange uneven book that suggested they could not quite agree on their findings. They saw horrors galore, filth, brutality, misshapen creatures...
...article appearing in today's Crimson, Mr. Arthur Hays Sulzberger has called attention to the kinship that exists between academic freedom and freedom of the press. The New York journalist and publisher of the "Times" thus turns the spotlight on the most dangerous threat to the American ideal of free thought. For awhile the publishing world is led by men who believe in free investigation and research, the press plays the part of a helpful guide, forming a public opinion that is devoid of prejudice and mass hatred and tolerant of things it cannot fully understand. But today a militant...
