Clean Break. The Enquirer employees' committee, with the financial backing of Cleveland Financier Cyrus Eaton, had beaten out the Taft-owned Cincinnati Times-Star, which had expected to buy the Enquirer unopposed (TIME, Jan. 14 et seq.).

They would sense the obvious fact that they are in the position of fellow travelers to the Bourbons and the bigots...
...circulation went up slightly, but not the way it was expected to under the whirlwind treatment. Crowell-Collier's profits, which had been down, kept dropping steeply. Such scare tricks as Collier's "Preview of the War We Do Not Want" issue (TIME, Oct. 29 et seq.) gave circulation a temporary lift, but earned Collier's thousands of adverse critics around the world...
