Although holding the unions to account, the commission also laid blame at management's door. By yielding to incessant labor demands, said the report, the press only perpetuates the very extravagance and waste that spell financial disaster. Said the report darkly: if Fleet Street's willingness to go along with union featherbedding "were to form the pattern for all industries, it would be disastrous to the economy of the nation." The commission urged publishers to stiffen their resistance to labor, even suggested a way: the same united-front defense that prevails in many U.S. cities, where, by management...
...beat Gretel's Jock Sturrock to the start, soon had a healthy lead and increased it with every mark of the 24-mile, windward-leeward course. The game Aussie skipper hounded Mosbacher like a hound after a fox (cracked one spectator: "Sturrock ought to know how to spell Weatherly by now; he's seen the name on her stern enough"), but at the finish a wide 3 min. 40 sec. and half a mile of open water separated the defender from the challenger...

This sort of attack leaves no lasting ill effects. But in a few victims, and especially those over 60, a high fever develops rapidly, the headache is so severe that aspirin and even morphine compounds give no relief; there are chills, nausea and vomiting. Some patients go into a coma or convulsions; if they survive such a severe attack, they may have suffered permanent brain damage. No medicine does any good...
