Inadequate Substitute. Though the walkout came at the peak of the Christmas shopping season, New York's papers had already carried the major portion of their gift advertising before they stopped the presses. Those that publish Sunday papers managed also to get ad-packed editions, made up of early-printed sections, off the presses before the walkout...
Even with Guerard behind him, Miller had trouble finding someone to publish This Passing Night. Several publishing houses read his manuscript and offered to print the gang line separately.

But the real disagreement was over the right of seminaries to question doctrine if serious scholarship makes it questionable. A Midwestern faculty member remarked: "There is a very low morale as a result of what has happened. I would call it a sense of shame. This kind of thing gives another professor nowhere...
