Justly famed as one of the few truly distinguished U.S. newspapers, the evening St. Louis Post-Dispatch has long paraded across its local press landscape with its nose held high in the air, hardly deigning to admit that its competition even existed. But no longer. As of now, the liberal, articulate P-D is engaged in a circulation fight and it is throwing men, money and even Tangle Town puzzles into the struggle. Concedes Post-Dispatch Business Manager Fred Rowden: "It may not be appealing, but you have to get down and meet the competition on his own level...
...Newspapers for Kennedy: the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard Times, whose arch-conservative publisher, Basil Brewer, was Massachusetts campaign manager for Robert Taft in his 1952 drive for the G.O.P. nomination; the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ("Kennedy offers the brighter hope of being able to evoke the burst of national spirit we shall require"). ¶ LIFE endorsed the Nixon-Lodge ticket.

As a combat marine during World War II, he fought through the landings on Guadalcanal, Guam and Bougainville. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's tough, tireless crime reporter for 20 years, Ted Link has coolly padded through the back alleys of the underworld, has probably written more about crime than any other U.S. newsman. Last week, as usual, violence was Reporter Ted Link's companion. This time, it was his own doing...
...Louis Post-Dispatch lumps its travel section under the catchall division, "Promotion News," and uses great gobs of free publicity copy. Stanton Delaplane, whose travel column is syndicated even more widely than Horace Sutton's, insists on paying his own hotel bills-but demands a 25% commercial discount in the U.S. A CAB ruling prohibits airlines from letting newsmen fly free on scheduled flights, but some travel editors evade the ruling by selling "reprint rights" of their articles to the airlines for the price of the fare-plus a few extra dollars to make the transaction look better...
