...editor of a small-town Indiana weekly, who joined the News in 1952 after nine years as director of the Franklin (Ind.) College journalism department, keeps on working. The News, which pumped $6,000 into the Crusade last year, refuses to take credit for her accomplishments. Says Editor M. Stanton Evans, who is also Mrs. Moore's son-in-law: "We provided the umbrella for this at first, and we will continue to support it. But the ladies run the Crusade...
...first reactions are any guide, there is rough sledding ahead for the tough curbs on "trial by newspaper" proposed by the American Bar Association's advisory committee on fair trial and free press (TIME, Oct. 7). Its report, as summed up by Columbia Broadcasting System President Frank Stanton last week, "takes us on a walk through beautiful countryside-a countryside of delicate restraints governed by high purposes.

"Our relationship was that of father and son," says Ben, who tried to teach Jack all he knew; to the vast annoyance of Jack's wife, he is still trying. For a time, Ben was, in his words, "a red-hot Socialist" who railed on street corners...
Since Friendly had made such a big case out of a disagreeable administrative decision, Paley and Stanton had to stick with their group V.P., all of which only underscored the absurdity of TV's outlandish office politics. For devotees of television's best work, it was too bad. Fred Friendly, for all his hair-triggery, brought much high-quality programming to television, won many prizes for his documentary work (See It Now, CBS Reports), and helped to make Ed Murrow an event...
