...exercise decisive power in the daily press. Item: when known Communists were caught with a cache of Molotov cocktails near one of the points on Vice President Nixon's canceled tour of Caracas, every paper except the Roman Catholic La Religión kept the story out of print. But when one of the arrested anti-Nixon rioters explained that he had joined in for a frolic and had no Communist ties, the story got headlines...
...Review ran in advance a big chunk of Beat Generation Novelist Jack Kerouac's On the Road, printed the first short stories of Playwright James (Blue Denim) Herlihy and Mac (No Time for Sergeants) Hyman. Their office was a back room in the office of a Paris publisher, who locked the front door after 6:30 p.m., forcing Review's editors and visiting writers to depart by dropping six feet from a side window into a stone courtyard below. Unlike its austerely printed rivals, Review early decided to print drawings and illustrate its stories, enlisted as art editor...
When Ambrose Usher first bubbled into print, London critics hooted happily that the model for the talkative detective was obviously brilliant, pudgy Sir Isaiah Berlin, Oxford don, author (The Hedgehog and the Fox), cross-country conversationalist and, during World War II, a first secretary at the British embassy in Washington.

Musical Millionaire. Surprisingly, every one of his biographies in English is out of print, including the best recent one, the 1951 Puccini, by George R. Marek (which draws much of its material from previously unused letters). The reason perhaps is that Puccini's life seemed to sound a few simple themes, uncomplicated by the frailty of a Mozart or the herculean sufferings of a Beethoven. He looked less the popular image of an artist than of a successful banker, and he probably made more money from his music ($4,000,000 at the time of his death) than...
...American Medical Association had long complained of these crass abuses. Last year the National Association of Broadcasters ordered that actors could go on impersonating scientific types only if the words "A Dramatization" were superimposed on the pitch for at least ten seconds. Advertisers obliged-but the caveat in print proved to have little meaning for most viewers, according to the N.A.B. Last week the N.A.B. again revised its code, in effect unfrocked TV's men and women in white. Henceforth, ruled the N.A.B., all doctors, dentists or nurses appearing in commercials must really be doctors, dentists or nurses...
