From Left to Right
"Too many papers give too many people on the Left too much reason to believe that they print too much stuff from the Right." For that reason, said Denver Post Editor Palmer Hoyt (see below) last week, he had hired Socialist Norman Thomas to cover the G.O.P. and Democratic conventions. Hoyt, who had been impressed by Thomas' guest editorials in the Post, promptly sold his convention coverage to twelve other papers (including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Los Angeles Times, Houston Post).
Editor Hoyt did not need to worry about coverage. With or without Presidential Candidate (for the sixth time) Thomas, U.S. readers would be exposed to all shades of opinion by all varieties of domestic and imported experts. Among them: Cartoonist David Low (for LIFE); Randolph Churchill and ex-Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (United Features); Rebecca West (Canada Wide Features) ; Novelists Louis Bromfield and Katharine Brush (I.N.S.).
