...expect me to stand up and praise him for the crooked life he's led," wrote the father of Murderer-Rapist James Hanratty (TIME, March 2) in London's Daily Express (circ. 4,328,524). Elsewhere in the paper, the girl Hanratty raped relived her travail: "I thought he wouldn't do it. I thought it could never happen, that I was dreaming." London's Sunday Pictorial (5,306,246) weighed in with first-person accounts from the beautician who dyed the fugitive killer's hair, and from other members of the family...

There are other examples of poor technical journalism. For instance, the page-one article on religion in the first issue is headlined, "The Travail of Rev.

...than 32% of the popular vote in a national election (the C.D.U.'s 1957 poll: 50.2%), and it was scarcely conceivable that they would collect anything like a majority this time. But with an attractive candidate-and with a voting public that is traditionally unpredictable in times of travail-the Socialists hope to collect up to 40% of the vote; they figure that that might tempt the small but important Free Democratic Party, normally closer to Adenauer's C.D.U.. into a controlling Socialist-led coalition...

...streak that knocked the National League-leading Los Angeles Dodgers back into second place, the gloom of players, fans, and sympathetic local sportswriters was slightly thicker than the city's smog. But in the Los Angeles Times, Sports Columnist James Murray could regard the home team's travail with wry humor. "What was happening to the Dodgers," wrote Murray, "could only be described as a slump if you think of what happened to General Custer as a slump.
