Publisher Rospach has never been bothered by such criticism. The Overseas Weekly is the type of tabloid that she had in mind in 1950 when, after serving a stint on Stars and Stripes, she decided to launch a paper that would begin where the semi-official Stars and Stripes left off. By 1953 she was serializing ex-G.I. George Jorgensen's operation (CHRISTINE CASTRATION RAPPED) and the details of Call Girl Pat Ward's journey into prostitution. The USAREUR (U.S. Army in Europe) command removed Overseas Weekly from Stars and Stripes newsstands all over Europe. Owner Rospach...

Without that Wednesday stint on the machine, he would be dead, probably before the month...
...none are permitted to come from outside to pick her up. The only solution, his doctor tells him, is to take her across the zoning line in his car. But Justina's death is merely the incident that fires the smoldering discontent of a man whose daily stint is to commute to the city and turn out TV commercials. Cheever is almost surely speaking for himself when his frustrated adman says: "There are some Americans who, although their fathers emigrated from the Old World three centuries ago, never seem to have quite completed the voyage...
