When the "revolution" at Vienna was reported suddenly quelled, with only a few score civilians shot down by government troops, some of the Post's readers supposed that this meant the super-reporting of Novelist Lewis would not come off. Others were more hopeful, remembering that Mr. Lewis had been a reporter?in New Haven, Conn., in San Francisco, and hither and yon for the Associated Press?before ever he sold a novel; and that even now his literary technique is regarded by critics simply as superlative journalese.

When Mr. Jones was reported as having ticked off a practice round in 68, Atlanta's mind was easier on this score. The other matter was the sale of the Atlanta Constitution, premier of Southern dailies. The ownership was announced as having passed from the Clark Howells, father & son, of Atlanta, to Colonel Luke Lea* and Rogers Caldwell, two Nashville, Tenn., gentlemen who published there the Tennesseean and who lately reached...
