...such summary fashion did that super-journalist, Arthur Brisbane, dispose of an item of financial information that had appeared on the front page of almost every U. S. newssheet. He had apparently forgotten to point out the name of the little-known man who had been elected, with John P. Morgan, the new chairman of the board, and James Augustine Farrell, new chief executive officer, to control the enormous destinies of the United States Steel Corporation. This was Myron Charles Taylor who had been made head of the finance committee...
...PEACHES" said black type more than an inch high, in a Pittsburgh newssheet.

As late as last spring, during the coal strike, his first cousin, Premier Stanley Baldwin,* thought it worth while to rehearse softie of the oldtime Kipling duty-booming in the Government's emergency newssheet (TIME...
...which will prevent the stupidities of their dullards from appearing in print. Not so the New York Times. For although critics agree that the Times is the greatest newspaper in the world, its readers have twice within the last month been offended by bungling worthy of the yellowest provincial newssheet. The first occasion was when the Times reprinted as a quotation from a college daily part of an item that had been cribbed from its own editorial page (TIME, Dec. 7).
