...TIME. The result, after much work by the Promotion Department, was a 28-page, 19 by 24 inch book titled The TIME Audience in Heraldry.

Its purpose was to call attention to TIME'S advertising pages by demonstrating that TIME readers are a most desirable audience for messages about many major products and services...
...Fair Jury." The Communist protest was serious enough to give pause to trial-worn Judge Harold R. Medina. He recessed court for a day to consider the matter. Closer study, however, showed that Carol's diary was not the earth-shaking thing it purported to be.

...particularly depressed about the nonarrival of two complete home gymnasiums, one of which he assigned to a neighborhood boys' club. Telegrams and registered letters seemed to have no effect on the manufacturer. He complained to the network, and parts of one gymnasium finally have begun trickling in. Worn out in the scramble to peddle his winnings, Noone took a dim view of the producers of the giveaway show, who had promised to cooperate in collecting the booty. Said he, glumly pondering his bonanza: "They get you into their offices and make you think they're giving...
