...expression of some doubt about Dean Acheson-but it was a doubt that was never clearly defined, nor forcefully defended. Obviously, in an open hearing, Acheson could not talk about top-level policy. But the Senate committee did want to hear about the international affairs of Acheson's affluent Washington (D.C.) law firm, did want him to say again that he had no love for Stalin, and above all, wanted to discuss Alger Hiss. Was it true that Hiss was Assistant Secretary Acheson's right-hand man after the period when, according to Congressional spy probers, Hiss...
...fatcat Republican Los Angeles Times moved into a handsome new six-story building. To protect the inlaid city-room floor, reporters were forbidden to smoke. Last week, directly behind this modern plant, another building was nearing completion -a ten-story white shaft with sea-green windows and an affluent look. Times reporters, who long ago broke down the no-smoking rule, were under fresh orders from the management: anybody who entered the new building would be fired on the spot...

Though a more practical library followed, the texts were soon out-dated and no money remained for new purchases. Now, with the demand for convenient books greater than ever, commuters have their choice of buying seldom used texts, or spending long afternoons and evenings in the monotonous environs of Widener when they would rather study, and eat, at home. The 9 o'clock check out (and check in) deadline for reserved volumes practically...
Even with its dying breath, the once-vigorous, lately spineless Star told less than the whole truth. It had just been swallowed-but did not say so-by the affluent and conservative Seattle Times, which would now have the afternoon field all to itself. For the Times (circ. 176,000), the deal was a bargain: at the markdown price of $360,000 it got the Star's precious newsprint contract. It also nipped young David T. Stern's threat to buy the paper and restore the lusty liberal voice that its late founder, E. W. ("Lusty") Scripps, gave...
