There were others who thought the Sentinel's problems were editorial. Described by one staffer as "the Hearst paper that most resembled a paper," the Sentinel tried hard to be one. But under Hearst, who bought the paper in 1924, it lost much of its independence and local voice. At the end it employed not a single fulltime editorial writer, relying instead on canned Hearst editorials sent out from New York; news-side staffers were assigned to write occasional local editorial comment on the side. A few of the striking Guildsmen will get their jobs back, although the Sentinel...
...these figures as proof of its virtue: early this year Estes' facilities were 43.4% filled with federal grain as against a Texas statewide average of 48.6%; later on, Estes' figure rose to 58.3%, but the state average also went up, to 62.9%.

Says a frustrated White House staffer: "He takes half an hour just to say hello.'' Once, McCormack drove Curley to distraction by refusing to say whether or not he intended to run for mayor of Boston. After mushroom clouds of doubletalk, and in his own good time-when a candidate of his own choosing...
...Kennedy is one of them." The supposition produced the first crack in the pale porcelain exterior of Pamela Turnure, 23, the First Lady's decorative press secretary. The remarks, said she, are "undignified and highly inappropriate." Retreated Glaser under the ire of the White House's youngest staffer: "Hours of painstaking care must be taken to remove antique paper from old plaster walls...Anyone willing to contribute this amount of time and expense is to be commended...
