...there a way to get more money for a newspaper without making the reader scream? Experience suggests otherwise. When New York's afternoon dailies went from a nickel to a dime in 1956, all three took circulation losses so severe that not one of them has climbed back to its old level. After a more timid price boost-from a nickel to 7?-in 1952, two of Detroit's three papers spent years recovering lost ground, and the third-ranking Times has still not recovered. Yet a fortnight ago, all three Detroit papers raised prices again...
...Riches plowed into boiling rapids, where men and boats have little chance. Up and down, 6-ft., turbulent swells bounced the cruiser. It capsized. Father Frank Rich was heard to scream: "Here we go." Those were his last words. Del Rich pulled his wife from under the boat, and they clawed to shore, watching father and mother bob downstream.

Tomorrow, if scientists have their way, Air Force heroes may all be ground-bound, button-pushing missilemen. Today these heroes are still the crinkle-eyed young men wearing silver wings, the plane jockeys who earn their day's pay at a high scream-somewhere around the speed of sound. Their quick, death-weighted decisions would scare a six-gun cowpoke back into the saloon, and the wonder is that their work is still a rarity on television. But last week televiewers had their fill of flying-in both fact and fiction. And even when Air Force technical advisers were...
...Manhattan, suffered a strange and horrible schizo-religious vision. Set down in a slim volume called Miss Lonelyhearts, published in 1933 under the pen name of Nathanael West, his experience was acclaimed as a masterpiece of the peculiar literature of phantasmagoria-a vision of hell on earth, a scream of anguish at the meaninglessness of human suffering...
