When the New York Star, which had opened only a year before, closed at the end of January, 1949, Ted Thackrey, the editorial-page editor of the New York Post bought the premises at which PM and, later, The Star, had been published. He began publishing a successor “The Daily Compass.” I.F. Stone wrote six columns a week until it closed in the winter of 1952.
