Krock almost never attends press conferences, prefers to depend instead on his personal contacts and his staffers' legs. As Washington's No. 1 correspondent, Krock's advice is often sought by Washington brass-from the President down. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes and two exclusive presidential interviews (Franklin Roosevelt in 1937, Harry Truman in 1950). Like all Timesmen, Krock...

Leviero cabled his boss, Washington Bureau Chief Arthur Krock, charging that Smith had waylaid the query and written a similar story. Krock fired a protest to U.P.'s Washington Chief Lyle C. Wilson. Smith stoutly denied he had taken-or even seen-the Leviero wire. As for that episode at Wake, his feat there was simply...
...rosa. (Point: the ceiling is garlanded with roses.) The male members of this exclusive luncheon club are Managing Editor James; Assistant Managing Editor Catledge; Assistant to the Publisher (and son-in-law) Orvil Eugene Dryfoos; Editor Charles Merz, boss of the editorial page; General Adler; Washington Correspondent Krock (when he's in town), and Sunday Editor Lester Markel, 56 (TIME, March 8, 1948), the restless, smart and hard-driving boss of the four excellent Sunday feature sections, which have helped boost the Sunday Times from 778,000 to 1,153,000 circulation since he joined the staff as Sunday...
