“We are against people who push other people around…”
PM, March 17, 1943
THIS IS PM…
(From the original Prospectus of PM)
We are against people who push other people around, whether they flourish in this country or abroad.
We are against fraud and deceit and greed, and cruelty and we will seek to expose their practitioners.
We are for people who are kindly and courageous and honest.
We respect intelligence, sound accomplishment, open-mindedness, religious tolerance.
We do not believe all mankind’s problems are now being solved successfully by any existing social order, certainly not our own, and we propose to crusade for those who seek constructively to improve the way people live together.
We are Americans and we prefer democracy to any other principle of government.

67 Years Ago Today… “Hermit House to Yield Secrets”
PM, March 24, 1947 (Photo by John Albert)
“A dead tree, a house of death, the blocked and barricaded windows of the one-time mansion that holds the mysteries of the Collyer hermit-brothers. Police plan to break into the house today to hunt for Langley. Arrow shows where watchers thought they glimpsed him Sunday. Body of Homer was found there Friday.”
Weegee Daily… March 19, 1941… Tenement Fire On Lower East Side Drives 50 Families Into Cold…
PM Daily, March 19, 1941, Vol. I, No. 196, p. 32
Tenement Fire On Lower East Side Drives 50 Families Into Cold
“Down in one of New York’s poorest districts, half a hundred families are crowded into an old house at 90 Stanton St. Fire started in an adjacent tenement, was sucked through the air shafts by the high wind, almost smothering all of those who lived there. Here is a rescue.”

No Fire On Lower East Side… Sun Sets on Lower East Side…
An adjacent building is no tenement… Looks like the rat trap in the lower right corner is still there… (“No Beggars or Peddlers” a sign in 1941 says… “Notice: No Loitering, No Peddling, No Soliciting, Allowed in this Building” a sign in 2014 says…)
One of the best PM back covers…
