...road towards an economic dictatorship. Behind this move were men who are neither Fascists nor Communists, but deputies of the vigorously pro-democratic Labor Party, which has ruled Norway for 18 years; the same men who battled the Nazis in 1940 and brought Norway into NATO in 1949.

Newsmen might complain or quit, but its late editor, Laurence Hills, could always find enough reporters on the town to fill the gaps.
