...1870s did not go easily. Even though the editors of The Advocate extended their editorial goodwill to the new paper, the community at large seemed unenthusiastic. The first issue promised a home delivery system for subscribers; the second retracted the offer because of lack of interest. The wrapper of advertising stayed at four pages until the Fall of 1875--two years without an increase. Also in 1875, in concert with The Advocate, The Magenta cancelled its policy of credit to subscribers. "We have been in existence now for three and a half years, and during that time we have lost...

...anchor men on the KABC-TV news in Los Angeles were so charming that more than 10,000 letters came in-most of them saying things like "Please send me John Schubeck in a plain brown wrapper." Impressed, the station decided to do virtually that. It ran a contest, with the prize being not only Schubeck but also Fellow Newscaster Joseph Benti, a staff of technicians, a truckload of cameras and cables, and all the paraphernalia needed to deliver a newscast straight from the winner's own home...
