Editor Storey and the power of headlines in Chicago Times
A New York Sun anecdote recalls Storey’s method of slashing copy to fit a night’s needs. A Illinois town correspondent sent 700 words, trimmed to 160, with a headline that sparked a dispute and a $5 fine. Storey later paid the fine and raised the reporter’s salary for creating a headline that triggered the incident.

Whale porpoise feed spree and mackerel losses in Britain
A historical note argues ordinary porpoises grow five to six feet long and require about 600 mackerel weekly. With 20 000 to 30 000 porpoises in British waters, annual mackerel depletion could reach hundreds of millions, as early fisheries once existed at St Mawes and Fowey in Cornwall but are no longer utilized.
