Shoveling Flakes. After painting that encouraging overall picture, Fairlie next turns to a more detailed examination of "the great, internationally known newspapers"- specifically the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. The Trib,* as he read it, was entirely unworthy of its once lofty position." In its editorials (as in almost every other important part of the paper, except its sport pages, Eugenia Sheppard and its team of columnists) the Herald Tribune has to all intents and purposes abdicated.

...Formed Taste. The Wall Street Journal receives far higher grades. "Of all the newspapers which I am discussing, the Journal is the only one which, with intelligence, polemic, candor and wit, questions the way in which the world is going.

Making a new movie from an old play can easily bring both to ruin, but Director Lattuada, with the slow and graceful style of a man who appreciates the uses of leisure, deftly manages to preserve the original without entombing...
...fast on a shaky foundation. The business was also damaged by its taking on some expensive airs. It tried simultaneously to upgrade its merchandise, add costly services, dress up its stores, and make expensive pushes into such distant cities as Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore. As a result, it hit wall-to-wall competition from established stores and supermarkets...
