French newspapers have been cut to one tabloid-sized page a day. Britain's great dailies now report the news in four to ten pages.

Like many another businessman, 39-year-old Master Promoter Robert Lawver Smith scarcely knew a chrysanthemum from a moss rose. But he did know that flowers could be sold. With that information, plus $125,000 and the merchandising experience gained as general manager of the tabloid Los Angeles Daily News (a job he still holds), Smith charged last year into the flower business.

He treated the Versailles Treaty with the competitive zest of a tabloid editor covering a beautiful blonde's murder trial, used 24 telegraph and telephone lines to transmit the full text from Washington, and gave it 62 columns of type. No other U.S. newspaper ran it in full...
