...woman will say, 'What a bitch Anne Edwards is.' " For the next dozen years, blonde, blue-eyed Columnist Edwards was as sassy as she could be for Lord Beaverbrook's bustling Daily Express (circ. 4,084,603). Her weekly 8-in. column grew to a half page as she worked over tempting targets, from Labor's formidable Dr. Edith Summerskill ("Flossie bang-bang") to Queen Elizabeth; she once ran a picture showing the rumpled derriere of the Queen's gown, cattily commented that wrinkleproof fabric evidently was unknown at Buckingham Palace.

...battle for female readers. Driving the combatants is the solid economic fact that British advertisers spend more than $17,000,000 weekly luring women v. a paltry $3,000,000 on men. All Fleet Street is chasing petticoats, from the grand and gouty Times, whose Monday women's page creaks like a corseted dowager, to the Daily Worker, which regularly runs features on fashions...

Today the sight of a local story on the front page would perturb editor and reader both...
...Associated Press's General Manager Frank Starzel, who served as the Pantagraph's news editor 30 years ago, recalls the time he rendered a regional bank robbery nearly invisible-by playing it on Page One. Several veteran Pantagraph newsmen searched page 3 for the story, rebuked Starzel for failing to run it. The backward progress of another bank-robbery story was a capsule of the Pantagraph policy. Since the rifled bank lay outside Pantagraph territory, the news broke on Page One; as the bandits fled toward Bloomington the story fled to page 2 (area news); when police trapped...
