...federal red-ink splash "of the order of $10 billion." said President Eisenhower at his press conference last week, lies ahead in the newborn fiscal year of 1959.

Even Judge Wyzanski barely jumped away from the splash of Goldfine's friendly money.

To compete with the A.P.'s thoroughness and the U.P.'s color, I.N.S. fell back on splash-and-dash journalism. On a coronation story, editors could rely on the A.P. for the dimensions of the cathedral, the U.P. for the mood of the ceremony, and the I.N.S. (sometimes) for an interview with the barmaid across...
