...midst of so much detail on the work of unidentified people, all that was definitely known was that under military order police had locked up Loys Aubin, news editor of Le Temps, and J. Poirier, ex-employe of Le Temps, now working in the advertising department of Figaro. As both Le Temps and Figaro explained that neither man had anything to do with policy or management, typewriters all over Paris banged out sensational but remarkably unspecific disclosures. They wrote of the beautiful Austrian Countess, C. B., "prominent figure in fashionable salons," who got across the border into Germany just...
...Berlin last May and the controlled Italian newspapers carried huge headlines describing the "wave of enthusiasm" spreading over Italy, it could not be detected in the streets. Two days later the country celebrated the 24th anniversary of Italy's entry into the World War against Germany and Austria. Work stopped at noon, bands played, parades formed, flags were waved.

Paul Smith wanted to get into newspaper work, so he went back to San Francisco and began writing a financial column for the Chronicle. Then, deciding he needed more education, he borrowed $500 and went to Europe. In January 1933 the financial editor of the Chronicle died and Wonderboy Smith got a cable to come home and take the job. When Herbert Hoover tried to hire him away in 1935, he was made executive editor. In October 1937 he became general manager, with only one boss, Cementman George Cameron, who married the founder's eldest daughter...
