...completed until 1938. Top deck has six lanes, will permit 10,000,000 cars to cross annually. Experts predict that tolls will amortize the bridge's cost in 20 years. Drivers may hit 45 m.p.h. on the span. For those who go faster there is a tabloid jail in one of the towers. Before nightfall on the first day it had been well used...
Roosevelt 6 Love Nests. On March 6, 1933 the tabloid News announced that it would support the new President for one year, do what he would. One of the earliest and most enthusiastic subscribers to the NRA newspaper code, Publisher Patterson found when his year of grace was up that Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal had become firmly fixed in his affections.

...Manhattan tabloid, the Evening Graphic, Publisher Macfadden thought he had the beginning of a chain of mass newspapers to rival that of William Randolph Hearst. To newsmen's surprise, the Graphic never caught on, though it did set alltime journalistic marks for sensational incoherence.

Main money-makers for Mr. Macfadden have been the pioneer sex-confession magazine True Story, for which he claims the largest monthly newsstand circulation of any magazine on earth (total...
