Like most babies of his generation, Dr. Walter W. Sackett Jr. (born in 1905) tasted no solid food until he was almost a year old. Nowadays U.S. mothers generally give their babies cereal within three months. To Miami's Dr. Sackett, a general practitioner, this is far too late; babies under his care have a spoon of thin oatmeal or barley when they are but two days old. At ten days vegetables are added; at 14 days, strained meats; at 17 days, strained fruits; at weekly intervals thereafter, orange juice, eggs, soups, mashed banana, custard puddings and "crisp bacon...

...free to run the News as he wants to, since "Mr. Smith will be active in neither the management nor the editorial end of the newspaper." (In his sale contract, McKinnon also took the precaution to free himself from any responsibility in the $3,475,000 damage suit Sackett has filed against Smith.) McKinnon hopes that, with 50,000 more circulation and a 25% increase in ads, he can lead the News out of the woods while paying off its debts "over a considerable period of time." Says he: "Los Angeles [needs a paper that] will be pro-Democratic...
