At this writing she had not heard from either of them...
...paper's story. Said Finnegan: "It was just as if the weatherman said it was going to rain tomorrow." Civic-minded Newsman Finnegan, with an appraising eye fixed on the circulation chart, decided to kick Chicago in the seat of its complacency.

When the Los Angeles Times launched its new afternoon tabloid, the Mirror, last October, it hit the newsstands with a dull thud. Readers were baffled by its sideways front page, annoyed by its murky newsprint and cloudy color pages, and bored by its stories.

From his thriving morning Times, Owner Norman Chandler rushed over City Editor Hugh ("Bud") Lewis to give Mirror Publisher Virgil Pinkley some help...
