What Greece was to classic Rome as a fountainhead of art and craftsmanship, Italy for more than 500 years has been to Western Europe. Temporarily cut off by Mussolini's Fascist regime, Italian painters, sculptors and architects have rebounded in the postwar years to make Rome a serious rival of Paris as Europe's art capital. At year's end in Milan and Manhattan, two of Italy's leading painters showed that in painting, as in music, a bel canto lyricism is still a trademark of Italian...
...elected in Jersey City last May, one of its first aims was to get revenge on the Jersey Journal (circ. 101,162), which had editorially supported an opposition slate hand-picked by Democratic Boss John V. Kenny. Murray's men transferred all city legal advertising to the rival Hudson Dispatch (circ. 58,037), refused to give out any information to Journal newsmen (TIME, June 3), even scheduled public meetings so that major stories would break too late for the evening Journal but in time for the morning Dispatch...
...last week it was plain to Journal readers-and to the rival Dispatch-that the feud had turned abruptly to friendship. In two exclusive Journal stories on the administration's slum-clearance projects, rewritemen carefully restored the Jr. to Jim Murray's name, while Editor Farrell ran the politician's picture on Page One for the first time in months.

To make things still tougher for Defense Attorney Biegler, the prosecuting attorney-who is also Biegler's rival in an imminent congressional election-brings in a crack assistant from the attorney general's staff at the state capital. To save his client, Biegler has only his own wits, the assistance of an able but often drunk colleague, and a secretary given depressingly to imitating the wisecracks...
...father who was a failure as a farmer and hotelkeeper. After working his way through Cornell, Newsman Gannett had risen to managing editor of the Ithaca News before he bought a half share of the ailing Elmira Gazette in 1906 (for $20,000), later merged it with the rival Evening Star. Gannett started looking for other money-losing dailies to buy and merge-and soon won fame as the busiest newspaper hyphenator in upstate New York. From Rochester, where he merged the Union & Advertiser with the Times, he went on to combine Utica's Herald-Dispatch and Observer, Elmira...
