The Press: Is Wishing Success

All over the world, English-language newspapers comfort American tourists, help teach native students and rake in local advertisers' bahts, cruzeiros, dinars, pesos, rupees and yen. But some of the papers are English in name only. As a splendid example, the first issue of Buenos Aires' new American News has just announced its aims in a charming front-page letter from the editor:

"The American News wishes to capture, to tune in and to enlarge the American living beat. Born with these aims in the heart, today is making them public from its pages. In the widespread mosaic of different sections a fanning on the various aspects and issues affecting the American living or arriving to Argentina will blow promptly." To which all fanning journalists can only to add salute and heartfelt hoping of many successful futures.
