...last week air delivery had become just one more unconventional routine for the News and its editor, 28-year-old Sergeant Don Robinson (ex-Knoxville News Senfinel, Albuquerque Tribune, Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman). Born in September 1940, as the "first [Army] paper of the national emergency," the News has gone along with its outfit through half a dozen U.S. camps and into Mediterranean battles.
