Concerning the last, Rospigliosi says that Rome, unlike Paris or London, is not a funnel for the country's news. This is partly due to the thinness of the file carriedby Italian news agencies, and the paper shortage which has reduced Rome's 32 newspapers (of all political complexions) to one or two pages - barely enough for the ads and the long, polemic editorials attacking the views of other editors, government officials, etc. that are a part of the journalistic character of Italy. For TIME'S purposes, therefore, much traveling and digging are necessary to find...
This year's review of Business in 1948 is the most extensive TIME has ever run. The work of committing it to paper, however, was considerably helped by the insistence of Joseph Purtell, Senior Editor for Business & Finance, that everyone concerned with it-from researchers to correspondents in the field-keep his facts at hand and the review in mind throughout the year.

"They told us to bend over like when we pray," said one little girl. "I was sore about three days." Later, another child complained: "Mr. Powell whipped me with a paddle one inch thick." Three boys said they...
When his $50 million baby discovers who he really is, she decides to dose him with his own poison-lurid publicity-and issues a fake announcement of their marriage. His paper fires him, of course, and for the next few reels, editors, lawyers and even the handsome young couple energetically worry the question: Did the nice newsman really marry the naughty rich girl, or didn't he? As all the din begins to fade, the answer seems to be: he didn't, but he will...
