Through the wide, empty Nebraska prairies, up into the gulch-seamed Wyoming plateaus where the snow still lay in the ditches, on up the old Oregon Trail along the Snake River canyon, Harry Truman unfurled his pattern for an expanding economy in a free world.

In the next 25 years, Ochs and Van Anda made newspaper legend. It was Ochs who had set the basic pattern: "All the News That's Fit to Print." It was Van Anda, one of the great managing editors of U.S. journalistic history, who cut the cloth to the pattern. When Van Anda finally retired because of ill health in 1932 (he died in 1945), the Times was a great...
