...newspaper empire that John Shively Knight built, the boss's brother, Jim Knight, has played a secondary role. It was the elder (by 15 years) brother Jack who took full charge of the Akron Beacon Journal in 1933 on the death of their father, and led the expansion into four other cities. It was Jack Knight, too, who sold the prosperous Chicago Daily News three months ago to Marshall Field Jr. (TIME, Jan. 19). "All I wanted to do," Jack said then to those who speculated on the imminent dismemberment of the chain, "was relax a little, and give...
Victory in Miami. For unassuming, unspectacular Jim Knight, it was an unaccustomed prominence. He has climbed the hard way, by merit, in a family empire where climbing was scarcely necessary. By disposition, he settled on the business side. "Jack isn't any bookkeeper," he said, "and I've always been sort of a tinker." When Jack Knight bought the Miami Herald in 1937, Tinker Jim went down and hammered it into shape.

...young man in Washington, D.C., American Motors' President George Romney showed up at a costume party as a knight, accompanied by a fair young maiden whose hand he had just won (see cut). The choice of dress was symbolic. Later, Romney rode forth to battle, astride his trusty Rambler to engage what he considered the modern U.S. dragon: the dinosaur-like big car. For a while, Detroit regarded him as a mere windmill tilter. But as Romney began to smite the dinosaur hip and thigh, TIME chronicled his success round by round, carefully reported the rise of the small...
...perhaps the only television gunslicker who is worth his whisky as an all-round actor (he is currently playing Lincoln in the Broadway production of The Rivalry). The name of his TV character, Paladin, is meant to suggest a knight errant. But the hero of Have Gun, Witt Travel is actually just a hard-boiled egghead, western style, who spouts Shakespeare while the lead flies, smokes 58? cigars, advises the public to "try marinating venison in whisky." He is a private eye in peewees, and though he always brings the villain to account, he usually tempers justice with money...
