...President was judging the two papers solely on their bitter opposition to the New and Fair Deals. Like the Trib, the Review is dedicated to the task of turning the rascals, i.e., Democrats, out. Beyond that, there is only a casual resemblance between the papers. The Review is neither so skillfully written nor so brightly edited as the Tribune, and typographically it still wears high-button shoes. The source of its journalistic power is that, like the Trib, it fusses over its inland empire like a hen on eggs-and covers the empire as efficiently...
...National Chairman Frank E. McKinney last week slipped on his knuckle-dusters and tore into Colonel "Bertie" McCormick's Chicago Tribune. McKinney's speech at a $100-a-plate Democratic dinner in Chicago was broadcast over the Tribune's radio station, WGN, and reported in the Trib itself (from an advance copy). Shouted McKinney: "If the voters of this great city had to rely upon the Chicago Tribune as their only source of news, then they would be as badly misinformed as those unhappy millions behind the Iron Curtain...
Importing the weather from Chicagoland (where there was a blizzard last week) was merely aging (71) Bertie McCormick's latest step in remaking the Times-Herald in the image of his Chicago Tribune.

But soon Norma Lee got interested in the beauty queen as a person; she persuaded the judge to give her and her husband custody of Miss Michigan. They took her back to Chicago, moved into a larger apartment so she could live with them, got her a clerking job at radio station WGN, enrolled her for voice and piano lessons. Says Norma Lee: "She seemed...
Norma Lee was happy, too. She was helping Peggy and she had a good story. But the happiness melted last week, two days after Norma Lee's first Trib article ran. Peggy phoned Norma Lee at midnight: "I'm in jail again." She had met two musician friends, known addicts, and gone for a ride. Police stopped their car because its lights were off, and arrested all three under a law which forbids addicts to "loiter." The afternoon papers gleefully splashed the story on their front pages.
