The Press: Transatlantic Thunderer

Off the presses of the mighty, august London Times last week came first copies of an “air edition,” expected to reach the U.S. within 48 hours of publication. Unlike the Daily Mail’s weekly transatlantic digest (TIME, Dec. 27), whose U.S. circulation has now reached 4,500, the Thunderer’s new edition is daily, full-sized, complete—but printed on India paper. For the present it will be sold in certain European countries, distributed free to a few key people in the U.S. and Canada.
