Explained William Theodore ("Wild Bill") Evjue, editor of the Times and president of the new combined publishing company: "The plan . . . will give complete editorial independence to each news-paper, while providing the financial stability . . . necessary [to] a free and vigorous press...
...readers, free and vigorous Bill Evjue (pronounced Ev-you), 66, was the best guarantee that Madison's newspapers will stay that way. Born in Wisconsin of Norwegian stock and educated at the University of Wisconsin, Evjue became managing editor of the Journal at 29. In 1917, when the paper attacked the late great Senator Robert M. LaFollette for his pacifism, Evjue quit to found the Times. (He later edited LaFollette's Progressive on the side.) The Times has been expressing Evjue's strident personality ever since. From the start, Evjue faced a financial struggle that made...
...cornerstone of Naziism, the U.S. Military Government runs Germany's biggest publishing plant.

Until the Russians banned Western zone publications last summer, the Zeitung sold 300,000 copies in the Soviet zone alone. Now its circulation (at 6? a copy...
When Hungarian-born Author Hans Habe (A Thousand Shall Fall), then a U.S. Army major, founded the paper in 1945, he hired the best non-Nazi German talent on the market. Some of the Zeitung's specialists make $750 a month. The paper can afford to pay well. It pays neither rent nor taxes, accepts no ads, and rakes in (along with its sister periodicals) $5,000,000 a year. But few U.S. newsmen, accustomed to the hustle of city rooms, would feel at home in the Zeitung. Every staffer above the rank of cub has his own office...
