This week the Journal was getting ready to start up its press in a new Washington plant, where 120,000 copies daily will be printed for readers from Capitol Hill to Pittsburgh. In addition to interpreting Government policies as they affect the businessman, the Journal in recent years has sharpened its straight political coverage, has gained circulation from Washington to the Deep South. The new plant, linked by Electro-Typesetter circuits to editorial offices in Manhattan, will be strategically located to serve this burgeoning market. In addition, it will relieve overstrained Manhattan presses, giving the Journal the mechanical capacity...
Negro papers, such as the Pittsburgh Courier, biggest local Negro weekly in the U.S., are switching to tabloid form and a broader news policy in an attempt to regain circulation (the Courier has plummeted to a little more than half its 1948 peak of 358,000).

...world came to an end when Evelyn wanted White to marry her. He sent her to finishing school instead, but before the term was out, Evelyn flounced off to Europe with a young Pittsburgh millionaire named Harry Kendall Thaw. It was a rough trip.

...taking blood samples from volunteers at regular intervals and analyzing their lipoproteins, Dr. Gofman is now convinced that he has enough experience to forecast whether a given individual will suffer from atherosclerosis. (Other researchers are not sure that he is right. Three laboratories-at Harvard, the University of Pittsburgh and the Cleveland Clinic-have been running experiments to prove or disprove the Gofman thesis.) Still to be explored is the possibility that a more fundamental mechanism is involved: a defect in body chemistry-the way in which an individual metabolizes either fats or proteins...
...fireworks connected with the latest Carnegie International art show (TIME, Oct. 24) were confined to the exhibition itself. Juror G. David Thompson, a Pittsburgh steelman and art collector, complained vehemently to the press that his foreign colleagues on the jury were unduly prejudiced in favor of entries from their native lands, brushing off U.S. contributors with two honorable mentions. Other partisans of U.S. art muttered that Carnegie Director Gordon Washburn himself was to blame for the poor U.S. showing, that he had ignored some of the most promising young U.S. painters. But the most baffled reaction of all came from...
