Publisher Joseph Medill Patterson is the breath and body of the News. Educated at Groton and Yale, he came through without a single inhibition. In his youth he was a storming Socialist. Today he is a plutocratic proletarian among publishers. Carelessly dressed, he rides the subways, goes to the movies with his two million readers...
What happened could only be pieced together from what was left of the plane after it crashed and burned, and what was left of the truth when eyewitnesses had had time to use their imaginations.

These lines advanced Douglas comparatively little for the experiment. Nine-tenths of the expenses, which DC-4 will have to pay back by selling itself,* have come...
...chance Franklin Roosevelt failed to understand Mr. Garner last week he could have found substantially the same advice expressed with equal cogency elsewhere. In her Washington Herald last week, Publisher Eleanor Patterson, sister of Publisher Joseph M. Patterson of the proletarian and pro-Roosevelt New York Daily News, ran an open letter headlined WHAT YOU COULD SAY, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. In it she took the President's "dare" to tell him exactly what to say "that would banish fear." Cissie Patterson's remedies...
