...will be a standard family Christmas," said the secretary in London. Arriving for the holidays from school in Gstaad, Switzerland, were the kiddies, led by Liza Todd Fisher, 5, looking like Mother Elizabeth Taylor from the eyes up and-clutching a tabloid but no cigar -like her late father Mike Todd from the nose down. With Liza came Half Brothers Michael, 9, and Christopher Wilding, 7; only adopted Baby Sister Maria Fisher, 2, stayed in Gstaad, would miss all the fun at the Dorchester with Mommy and Uncle Dickie Burton. Meanwhile, winging in from Switzerland...
Potential Fatalities. Both sides have settled down to stubborn warfare that could, if sustained, kill off as many as three Manhattan dailies. One candidate for extinction is Dorothy Schiff's Post, a liberal afternoon tabloid with a tenuous lease on life. The Post, which has been replenished with periodic and generous transfusions from Dolly Schiff's personal fortune (she inherited $9 million), has served notice on the I.T.U. that it can survive neither a protracted strike nor a punitive contract.

With what it called "characteristic spontaneity," Harvard's student newspaper, the Crimson, inundated Manhattan with 10,000 free copies of a "New York Edition"-2,000 more...
...converted loft on Manhattan's West 26th Street a handful of Communists put to bed another Worker (no longer the Daily Worker), a sickly-looking eight-page tabloid. "Forty-two percent of all plants being operated in the Soviet Union," exulted a Page One story, "were constructed in the last four years." The market for such "news" is dwindling these days. The Worker is a failure, a Red newspaper that is printed but not read. Its claim to 15,963 paid circulation is as phony as its news. At week's end loyal party workers hawk unsold copies...
