Newspaper Collector Samuel I. Newhouse knows how to make trouble work for him. In November 1959, the printing-trades unions struck the two daily newspapers in Portland, Ore. They objected to Newhouse's plan to install automatic plate-casting equipment on Portland's biggest and strongest paper, the morning Oregonian (circ. 207,837). And they also struck the afternoon Oregon Journal. For the first 160 days of the strike, the two papers published joint editions; since then have been appearing regularly on their own, though the strike has been going on for 21 months. The Journal has been...
...than influencing them, Newhouse intends to leave the Journal's editorial staff and policy undisturbed. The Journal's jumbo headquarters on the Willamette River may be sold and its staff moved over to the Oregonian plant several blocks away or to a nearby office building. Eventually, both Portland papers will be printed on the same presses but with separate staffs. Now that he owns both Portland news papers, Newhouse is out shopping for another paper in the East...

Every resident is eligible, at $7.50 a month, to receive whatever medical and surgical services he needs. He chooses his own doctor. When he gets treatment, the doctor sends the bill to the P.A.C.C...
...miles away, the U.S. was commemorating a different kind of day-Law Day-in 100,000 peaceful ceremonies. On Chicago's lakefront, 959 aliens held their right arms high to pledge allegiance to a system of justice under the law, and were sworn in as new citizens. From Portland. Ore., to Hillsboro, Texas, high school students acted as jurors in mock trials. Atlanta ministers delivered sermons. Seattle TV stations presented programs, San Diego lawyers met with foreign-exchange students-all to explain the meaning of law and the vital need for its rule in the world...
