About New York World
The New York World was a newspaper published in New York City from 1860 to 1931. The paper played a major role in the history of American newspapers as a leading national voice of the Democratic Party. From 1883 to 1911 under publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was a pioneer in yellow journalism, capturing readers' attention with sensation, sports, sex and scandal and pushing its daily circulation to the one-million mark. It was sold in 1931 and merged into the New York World-Telegram.

Fulfills the role of vengeance. You're right, yeah. I like, so crossword setters are always kind of heroes, but one of the first ones, was Arthur Wyn. I think he was the first one who set the New York World one.
