...funds were running low. The policy of printing beautiful editions of books with limited sales appeal meant that the Press was laden with equal parts honor and deficit. As is the case with all university printing plants, the Printing Office was self-supporting, and even showed a tidy profit. But not enough to balance the Press's honor. So Murdock, pleading the Cause of The Fair Name as justification for continuing the Fine Books Policy, hiked the printing fee for the University Departments ten per cent--still a good buy compared to outside houses. He reasoned that the Departments should...
...Though it has a monopoly of the afternoon field, its ad rate is the lowest of any major eight-column daily. Its radio-TV station, WTMJ, is one of the top moneymakers in the U.S. For close to half a century, the Journal has earned a handsome profit ($2,000,000 after taxes in 1953), which is shared by many of the 1,337-man staff; the Journal is one of the few U.S. dailies whose employees own the paper they work...

With steadily shrinking profit margins, retailers feel that they cannot afford to meet the going rates of other industries, even though higher wages for better salespeople might be more than made up by increased sales...
...find the CRIMSON basing its case on "purely practical grounds." Aside from several curious non-sequiturs in your editorial on Friday, your "practical" argument seems to ignore the fact that McCarthy is not interested in finding whether persons are guilty of violating the law. His only aim is to profit by the current hysteria through victimizing people who hol unpopular beliefs. To give him more names is merely to provide him with more fuel and to aid him in destroying the lives of men and families. The fact that those named would protest their innocence of criminal activity would...
