Benjamin Franklin, printer, philosopher, scientist, author, patriot and first citizen of Philadelphia, is America's universal man. Perhaps the most attractive aspect of his greatness was that he managed to be a kind of human golden mean-wise, moral, prudent, without being dull. This first volume of his collected papers gives readers the happy chance to get reacquainted with Franklin's winy wit, sage maxims and arrow-swift mind...

The liberal New Statesman got into hot water with its labor friends by printing in Dlisseldorf, but was back in England a week later with union approval to hire a printer in Essex. The Economist, which was printed in a Swiss nunnery during a lesser strike in 1956, found a printer in Brussels, moved to Paris a week later, after Belgian unions expressed sympathy for the British strikers and threatened a boycott...
