Your April 16 article on the Washington Post refers to that paper as "celebrated in song by John Philip Sousa's march bearing its name." For years Sousa led the famous U.S. Marine Corps band quartered at Marine headquarters, Washington, D.C. - long known as the Washington post of the Marine Corps. I therefore contend that this martial air of Sousa's is the "Washington Post March" and not that of the Washington Post...
...Deserts. That night, in a little Italian restaurant called La Pantera, he had the bubblingest, headiest experience of all. Outside La Pantera, a full block at the foot of Telegraph Hill had been roped off and was jammed with jostling, laughing, folk-singing Italians, who drank free wine from paper cups and made the night ring with their cheers at Stevenson's simple statement: "I have come here to ask for your vote." While four cops wrestled to hold back the crowd. Stevenson struggled into La Pantera for dinner with Owner Rena Nicolai and her employees. They pushed...
Cincinnati's three newspapers last week had Page One news in which all three figured. Up for sale went a block of bonds convertible into 36.5% of the stock-working control-of the city's only morning and Sunday paper, the prosperous Enquirer (circ. 206,408).

The winner: Scripps-Howard, which paid $4,059,000 against a Times-Star...

It was Stuart's 1952 deal that enabled Enquirer employees to win their campaign to take control of the paper themselves. It was Stuart's impatience with the Enquirer's internal management squabbles (TIME, Dec. 5 et seq.) that prompted him to sell out last week...
Nights and days run together. The Russians and the Americans meet at the Elbe. Hitler shuffles paper armies, daydreams in helpless fury of destroying the world. A moment later, the six Goebbels children are romping about their Onkel Adolf like pretty puppies. The young captain gets drunk and shoots off his mouth. Himmler offers peace without Hitler's consent. Eva's brother-in-law is shot, on Hitler's orders, as a deserter; and on Hitler's orders a Berlin subway, full of German women and children, is flooded to keep the Russians...
