...flatly charged that daily journalism has degenerated into a "holding operation, and not holding everywhere [in an] era of broadcasting." ¶ The problem of the metropolitan press is not television, argued J. Edward Murray, managing editor of the afternoon Los Angeles Mirror News, but a rising competition for both readership and advertising from the suburban press. ¶ From a surprising source-Jack Patterson, circulation manager of the Washington Post and Times Herald-came an indictment of editorial vulnerability to pressure from advertisers. He cited the case of "one of the nation's largest newspapers" whose publisher, fielding an advertiser...
Life's Inside Story. In response to earlier criticism, Adams in his massive History denied himself those highly colored, stylistic tropes that Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. once called the "Macaulay flowers of literature." But if the book never enticed the readership he thought it deserved, it may have been because its nine volumes did not show that he had followed his own editorial creed ("Omit!

...pastime but almost a national institution. For an inside account of how one of the shows-the popular Dotto-was bounced off the air for downright crookedness, see SHOW BUSINESS, Scandal of the Quizzes. That story follows other reports by TIME'S new section that have won high readership ratings since it started three weeks ago. Among them: last week's piece on the agents who find and coach quiz-show contestants, which served as an appropriate curtain raiser to the Dotto affair; the story on Frank Sinatra's invasion of Madison, Ind., which became the talk...
