The Printed Word

A Week with the Minneapolis Tribune

For many years the Cowles family has helped to form opinion in the Middle West. The present generation, John and Gardner (“Mike”), control the Minneapolis Tribune, the Des Moines Register and Look. John, whose special charge is the Minneapolis Tribune, is now writing a series on Asia and the Middle East, from which he has just returned. His findings: the Russians have beaten us again; our only hope (a slim one) is to shell out dollars, with no questions asked.
