...A.N.G. "trial board" tried five writers on Hearst's New York Daily Mirror, condemned them to pay fines totaling $1,400 or be expelled (and perhaps lose their jobs in the bargain).

(on the grounds it was Communist-controlled); 3) refusal to accept the Guild as bargaining agent. The condemned: Ruth Phillips, rewrite girl ($500); Walter Marshall, ship-news reporter ($400); Charles E. Lang, head of night copy desk ($400). Stiff fines, they carried...

...when President F. Donald Coster looked in his bathroom mirror and shot himself through the head, it was widely supposed that the $87,000,000 drug firm of McKesson & Robbins would die with him in all the bathrooms of the U. S. But this week, after 26 months in the bankruptcy courts, McKesson was ready to go back to its owners, and it was anything but dead. On the basis of de-Costerized accounting, its 1940 sales and profits were the best in its 108-year history...
