...Neither paper's music critic reviewed the creation, which band members called "a nice high school march." But the Post-Dispatch could not resist an editorial comment. The Globe-Democrat March, it said, "is reported to have three themes, one spirited, one elegant, and one blues-the blues expressing, no doubt, the melancholy of running second in a two-horse race." Besides, said the PD, it had scooped the Globe by 76 years-Composer Louis Stockigt's Post-Dispatch March was first played at the St. Louis Exposition in 1891. Gushed the P-D at the time...
Forbidden Fruits. Today, the quarrels of the past have been set aside, and both papers enjoy healthy profits. Not only does the Tribune (circ. 109,738) no longer needle Mormons; it also carries a lot of Mormon news. Some people feel the papers get along a little too well. For one thing, advertisers must pay 75% of the papers' combined rate to place an ad in one paper. Beer and cigarette advertisers feel that this discriminates against them, since they are not allowed to place ads in the News. Ironically, the News then benefits from the forbidden ads since...
...News is not totally oblivious to a changing world. One of the reasons Publisher E. Earl Hawkes left the Hearst papers for the News in 1964 was a promise that he would not have to put out a "church house organ." Indeed, the News is sometimes at odds with conventional Mormon opinion.

...Louis Globe-Democrat Publisher Richard Amberg is always dreaming up ways to get the jump on the rival Post-Dispatch. Recently, he commissioned the Globe-Democrat March. "The Globe-Democrat is a strong, militant, patriotic paper," he explained, "and I thought a march would be in character." At its premiere in a park concert performed by the Laclede Gas Co. band, Composer Alfonso D'Artega likened the "smooth and elegant theme" to the "editorial, society and Sunday-magazine sections of the newspaper." The paper pronounced the piece a hit: "When it was over-all too quickly, it seemed...
...people don't." This principle is supported by the Chinese Air Force diet-popularly known as "The Sinkiang Man's Diet"-which was first developed in the "Mao Clinic" and was tested by the 19,007th Lighter than Air Fighter Squadron (otherwise known as the "Flying Paper Tigers"). It offers recipes for such dishes as "True Way to Marxist Contentment Soup," and "Sweet and Rotten Pork," all of which consist of rice, fish heads (if available) and radishes. If faithfully followed, the regimen is guaranteed to eliminate not only the dieter's excess flab but the dieter...
