...exception, Washington Correspondent I. F. ("Izzy") Stone was aboard for Manhattan's tabloid PM. Presumably with the aid of U.S. Zionists, he had joined an illegal group "somewhere in Europe," accompanied them from station to station by land, and through the British blockade by sea. For hardworking, squirrelly, 38-year-old Izzy Stone, whose usual dish of tea is badgering U.S. Secretaries of State at press conferences, it was an offbeat adventure. For PM, which makes a play for New York City's 2,000,000 Jews, Izzy's journey had the promise of some first-rate...
...admission, Manhattan's pink knight among newspapers, the hyperthyroid tabloid PM, has everything it takes to be a great newspaper-except readers. Its 165,000 nickel-a-day "shareholders" (over 200,000 pay a dime on Sundays) make up a weekly $60,000 pot, but each week some bills go unpaid. For most of PM's six years, Marshall Field has been standing off the sheriff. Some weeks the gesture cost him $40,000. By last week, founder-editor Ralph Ingersoll's* pamphleteering paper had set back his benefactor...

Most of his copy, which appears in one-column ads every day in the tabloid News and less frequently in other Manhattan papers, shrewdly ignores his place of business, which has a low-budget show, no stars and little to advertise but Billy Rose. His field: "miscellaneous notions on Life, Art, Reforestation and Sex among the Aborigines...

With World War II, the Patterson & McCormick lines began to converge. The Daily News's breezy, colloquial editorials began to shout against "intervention," and for America First. (Joe's rebellious daughter Alicia Patterson Guggenheim shouted right back in her interventionist tabloid, the Hempstead, L.I. Newsday.) In 1940 Patterson, who often pecked out his editorials for himself, urged the U.S. to "warm up to Japan." The News stopped its appeasing during the war, but for a year it has been giving F.D.R. a posthumous whipping for getting the U.S. into...
