...year-old New York Times printed the biggest paper in its history (430 pages, 4 lbs. 14 oz.), including a two-page edition "for the record" for every one of the days missed during the strike, along with four news sections (152 pages) crammed with Christmas ads. The tabloid News printed 532 pages for its six different editions for the New York and New Jersey areas, with a double portion of comics, and 23,000 lines more advertising than the same edition last year. All five Sunday papers were so heavy and hard to handle that hundreds of extra trucks...
...national funeral. The magical Magyars won, 6-3, and at the very end, the stands rose as one in thunderous, generous applause for the Hungarians. The British press made no alibis. The Times wrote: "The Hungarians shot with the accuracy of archers. It was Agincourt in reverse." The tabloid Daily Mirror and the good grey Times both had the same thought: "It was the twilight of the Gods." With wry humor the Express also noted a consolation: "England came back victoriously last night. Her pingpong players beat a Hungarian team...
...West Berlin last week were signs: "Die BZ ist wieder da [BZ is back again]." BZ is the House of Ullstein's tabloid Berliner Zeitung, once one of the biggest papers in Berlin with a circulation of 510,000, specializing in sports, features, entertainments and easy-to-read news.

Last year they got some of their property back (TIME, Feb. 4, 1952), and under Karl...
Although it is published in Garden City, Long Island, a quiet suburb 20 miles from the bustle of Manhattan, Alicia Patterson's tabloid Newsday (circ. 180,964) has never been content to lead the quiet life of a suburbanite. Almost two months ago, when Yonkers Raceway's Labor Boss Tommy Lewis was murdered by a hired gunman (TIME, Oct. 5), Newsday said pointedly: the Yonkers trotting track is "40 miles from [Long Island's] Roosevelt Raceway, but only inches separate [them] in operating procedure." Newsday knew what it was talking about. Unheeded by other papers...
While Manhattan's tabloid Daily News and Mirror were offering to hand out $25 to $2,000 a day for "Lucky Bucks" and "Bonanza Bills"* (TIME, Sept. 21), Long Island's tabloid Newsday found a way to cash in on the circulation stunt without shelling out a single dollar. Last week, atop the page, Newsday announced:"Here Are All New York Papers' Lucky [Numbers]." Said Newsday: "Tired of lugging home [several] newspapers a day to find out how much your dollar bills are worth? ... So are we ... We're not interested in handing out thousands...
