Ruppel, 48, an ex-Hearstling who came up in the rough & rowdy Chicago press, chopped off so many heads after he got to Collier's that some staffers began to quit even before they spotted the gleam of his ax. Even such contributors as Quentin Reynolds, Collie Small and Frank Ger-vasi made for the door. Editor Ruppel, one ex-Collier's staffer explained, had never before dealt with magazine writers, accustomed to writing pretty much as they pleased, and he often treated them just as if "he hated writers."

When he finally spotted the YB-60 in flight he could only swear; it was too late to make his last edition, and the morning Star-Telegram, also owned by Carter, would get the break...
...West Germany last week, Staffer Rudi Treiber of Düsseldorf's Communist daily Freies Volk got a geography lesson. Under the headline PISTOLS AND BRASS KNUCKLES IN CLASSROOM, WEST BERLIN SCHOOLS ARE GANGSTER STUDIOS, Treiber had pointed to the school in the Pankow area of Berlin as a horrible example of just how the West brings up and trains its schoolchildren. In the Pankow school, he wrote, children have been found armed with brass knuckles and guns, while others write lewd poems which they circulate through an organization they call the "Bureau of Love...
