...that a surprising complexity of information appears on a control panel that would not be out of place in the cockpit of a 747. Almost everything the skipper needs to know-from the depth of the water under his keel to the wind speed and direction at the masthead-will be available at a glance...
...struggle. But deadlines were lax, staff meetings friendly, and what tension there was arose naturally from the shared pressure to survive. It is a romantic picture, enhanced by the Real Paper's structure. This was a Staff-owned paper, reeking of egalitarianism, with practically no hierarchy at all (the masthead listed simply "The Staff," without giving titles). There were no financial angels, and the success that came quickly and steadily to the Real Paper was all the more gratifying for the way the staff...
...that The Crimson allows editorial sentiments to sneak into news columns. While I personally doubt this, I still must ask whether The Crimson wishes to maintain the ideal of objectivity for journalists which Mr.Garin denies for scholars.

...masthead, no birthday announcement. But The New Yorker is probably right about that, readers do know what's going on. The magazine quickly sold out at all three Harvard Square newsstands last week, proof that sophisticated aesthetes saw the February 24 issue for what it was: a silent collector's item. It was fat with the work of such New Yorker deities as E.B. White, S.J. Perelman, Brendan Gill, John Updike and Pauline Kael--some of them dragged from retirement for this circumspect celebration. That was a clue, of course all of those whimsical hot shots, together in one issue...
