...installment; on page 31, readers were asked, as usual, to send questions to the Mirror's "You Said It!" column and were offered the customary $10 reward. Only in a black-bordered announcement on page 2, under the heading MIRROR CEASES PUBLICATION, were readers told that the morning tabloid was no more...
...Mirror's considerable audience must have wondered why a paper with a circulation of 835,000 daily and 1,000,000 Sunday could not have survived. After all, it was the second biggest daily in the U.S., topped only by Manhattan's other morning tabloid, the New York Daily News (1,915,000 daily, 2,000,000 Sunday).

Book Week, the Herald Tribune's new excursion into publishing, may undercut the Review financially but in no other sense do they compete. Anyone...
...dailies. The New York Post cut him loose for not writing about pretty girls during the week after Pearl Harbor; Goldberg, who normally loves such assignments, churlishly refused on the ground that, considering the times, there were more important subjects to write about. On PM, the long-defunct intellectual tabloid, he was asked so many times to gather man-on-the-street reaction to stirring events that he once rebelled and interviewed 35 New Yorkers all named Hyman Goldberg. To his surprise, his story was a resounding success...
