Dope Story

Things were pretty quiet last Sunday night in Denver. To build up a police-beat yarn, the tabloid Scripps-Howard Rocky Mountain News ran it under a 96-point Page One headline:

IN NARCOTICS

NARCOTICS HERE

Next day the rival Denver Post headlined the facts: FIRM LOOTED OF $5,000 IN NARCOTICS.
