Ordinarily such a record calls for prolonged professional crowing, but the Herald Tribune has been in no mood to crow since Sunday, November 21, when the paper carried as "Section XII" a 40-page glorification of Cuban Boss Fulgencio Batista's illiberal regime...

Back from his snuggery-workshop on the English Channel, Writer Gallico entered the employ of William Randolph Hearst's International News Service. A high-priced super roving reporter, Paul Gallico, whose loyal readership followed him from the sport section of the New York News to the Saturday Evening Post, took as his assignment the Philadelphia child-murder case, described the arraignment of a 19-year-old girl defendant with true sob-stuff...
