...London Economist, the analysis was supposed to have been quietly circulated among the sponsoring publishers and unions. But the Guardian, which was not a party to the agreement, got a copy of the report and leaked salient portions. The leak forced the publishers to release the entire 555-page report. It is now the talk of Fleet Street-much to its own discomfort. For the report lays the lion's share of the blame for the industry's decline on a "small number of highly individualistic proprietors," some of whom have "little interest in modern management methods...
...sojourn at the L.B.J. ranch. At the White House, security precautions were so rigid that reporters were barricaded out of hearing range of the typing pool so that they could not eavesdrop on secretaries proofreading the speech aloud.

And have the wedding be between one of the depraved and a young, Greek innocent. Her purity of thought (which borders on the feeble-minded) will really point up the futility of it all. And then, glory of glories!, have...
...read on our front page of a heated discussion that took place, recently, in the past few days, in fact, preceding a decision of the residents of the various Radcliffe houses concerning the extension or the further continuance of the present system of the allotting Parietal hours among the various days of the week, which was decidedly on the side of the opponents of extension of the parietal periods until the reversal of ambient sentiment switched the balance of opinion to those advocates of extension of parietals negating the heretofore previous situation which is outlined above, which appears the only...
