...wonderful to have access to a printing press, isn't, it, even when what you publish with it ("The Globe's Here...Substantially," 8/9/85) is incorrect...
Leave it to Benjamin Franklin, that protean spinner of projects, to publish the first foreign-language newspaper in America. The year was 1732; the paper, called the Philadelphia Zeitung, was aimed at the city's burgeoning German population. As the decades rolled by, the growth and variety of the immigrant press mirrored the flow of the immigrants themselves.

An ear is always there...
...copies of Lewisiana have been sold, and other volumes are on the way. "Lewis wrote 45 books," proclaims Martin. "And Black Sparrow has reprint rights to all of them. It's like having an exclusive option on the Inca Empire." If North Point represents the classical approach to publishing and Black Sparrow the romantic, William Kaufmann Inc. stands for the technocratic. The two letters most frequently heard at Kaufmann's modest headquarters in Los Altos, Calif., are "AI" (artificial intelligence), the science of making computers "think."
