...night last week, Teleprinter No. 2 chattered abruptly into life in the newsroom of West Deutsche Rundfunk, a radio station in Cologne. This meant fresh copy from the telegraph office, and the late-shift operator dutifully bestirred himself to see what was coming in. The message he read jolted him down to his half soles. TODAY, LATE IN AFTERNOON, announced Telex No. 2, FIRST MINISTER OF U.S.S.R. KHRUSHCHEV DIED SURPRISINGLY AT 20:19 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME OF HEPHOCAPALYTIROSISES.

...System. Where small dailies have teamed together in recruitment programs, they have sometimes achieved modest success. In three years, the Indiana Newspaper Personnel Committee, which invites college and university students in for summertime newspaper jobs, is already paying annual dividends; last June the committee hired 15 graduates as newsroom help. But sometimes such efforts run into apathy.

...also been bitten by another bug. In 1935, after earning a Phi Beta Kappa key and an M.A. in psychology at St. Louis' Washington University, he made a beeline for the newsroom of the St. Louis Star-Times, which was even then mortally ill (it died in 1951). "I picked the Star-Times because it was the lowest-paying place and seemed most likely to hire a kid," says Havemann.

...years, Roy Roberts' throne has stood at the far end of the newsroom of the Kansas City Star, as immovable a fixture as Roberts' 200 Ibs. But last week, with a regal grace, the Star's president and executive editor eased both his bulk and his throne 10 ft. to the right.
