...most ambitious attempt to fill the void is the Minneapolis Daily Herald, introduced May 1 by Minneapolis Adman Maurice McCaffrey. Although the Herald has little visible merit, cribs freely from TV newscasts, lacks even a wire service, and drips with errors (its daylight-saving time announcement missed the changeover by 24 hours), McCaffrey claims a press...
...year ago last week Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo was waylaid and slain. It took another six months for his son Ramfis to be sent packing. In the void left by 31 years of Trujillo family tyranny, few cheers greeted the seven-man Council of State that took power in the Dominican Republic last January.

But excessively high tariffs tend to choke off international trade and push up domestic prices, and the Tariff of Abominations stirred up impassioned opposition. South Carolina even enacted a Nullification Ordinance that declared the 1828 tariffs void within the state. The boomerang result of the 1828 Tariff Act was a freer-trade movement that prevailed in Congress from the early 1830s until the Civil War brought on a new surge of protectionism...
