...friend of everybody he knew, and his camaraderie and conviviality knew no bounds. But his heart and kidneys did. One day last week he checked into a Manhattan hospital. He suffered from nephritis, plus severe anemia. Four days later he had an internal hemorrhage, died at 60. The Front Page, of course, provided a fine epitaph: "I'm no stuffed shirt writing peanut ads. God damn it-I'm a newspaperman...
Champagne corks popped in a Paris city room last week to greet the birth of a major French daily: Le Temps de Paris. For competitors, the cork-popping sounded the opening barrage in an all-out circulation war. The new afternoon paper, a fat (for France), 40-page tabloid with heavy backing from businessmen (initial investment: about $4,000,000), set out to combine the dash that is all too common in the French press with the responsibility that is all too rare. After readers snapped up its first press run of 480,000, Le Temps began printing...
...country's biggest paper, France-Soir (circ. 1,300,000), leaped to the challenge. With a staff strengthened by 14 new hands, France-Soir jumped from 14 to 20 pages, splashed pictures on its front page, and plugged a contest offering 50 million francs ($142,857) for the best characterization of "the ideal Frenchman."

...Detroit press with burying news of the Rouse case (TIME, April 16), in which a part American Indian family was forced to move out of a Detroit neighborhood after a mob rioted around the house in the belief that they were Negroes. Commented Hall: "One paper ran it on page 3, one on page 16, and one on page 60. One story was only three paragraphs long. Anything like that happening in Montgomery would have made the lead story in all of those papers. Yet they ignore their own dirty wash. It makes...
Helffrich went to work for NBC 23 years ago as a page boy. At the time, studio executives thought that the page boys, who were guiding tens of thousands of tourists around the Manhattan studios, lacked diplomacy. Helffrich, just out of Penn State, was appointed guide in charge of tact. Except for a wartime tour of duty with the Navy, he has been with NBC ever since, and believes that he is still dealing largely in tact. Some of his decisions depend on sensitivity (the words, offensive to Negroes, of such Stephen Foster songs as Old Black Joe and Massa...
