...These should have been in your paper," he scolded. "You are ignoring news important to 65% of the people-and missing a good bet." As an experiment, Seltzer hired him at $35 a week. Soon, in a homely, rough-cut column called "Around the World in Cleveland," new and jawbreaking names began to appear in the Press. Known in the office either as the "Hunky" or "broken-English" editor, to whom every mustached office visitor was automatically referred, Andrica worked tirelessly to promote giant dance festivals and international exhibits (one drew 150,000 people), organized a Council for American Unity...
...reissue of Critic Mark Van Doren's prosaic, reasonable book about Poet John Dryden* provoked the New York Post's Reviewer Sterling North, who has been similarly provoked before, to a brisk whirl of Drydenesque heroic couplets. In 32 rough (but sometimes very ready) didactic verses, he reproduced a spat between "Seraph Pro" and "Archangel Con," before a Heavenly Critics' jury for the Book of the Aeon Club...

National Maritime Union, and slim Harry Bridges, boss of the West Coast's C.I.O. longshoremen and warehousemen, speak in the same Communist accents, out of different corners of the mouth. Both, for years, have sought one big union of maritime and dockside workers, 200,000 strong on both coasts and the Great Lakes...

...Milky Way. Astronomers used to think the "home galaxy" was merely a lens-shaped swarm of stars, revolving majestically in space. Now they think it has a more complicated structure. Last week two University of Virginia astronomers reported that the "red giant" stars seemed to be concentrated in a rough sphere near the hub of the galaxy. The commoner white stars (like the sun) had spread out in a wider, thinner disc. This discovery suggested that the red giants and the white stars may have had different origins. Perhaps all the galaxies had been formed in two great and separate...
