...Buchwald has more than justified the Tribune's decision to bring him back from Paris, where he played journalistic jester for 14 years (TIME, June 22, 1962).

Povich outdraws such punditical heavyweights as Walter Lippmann, Joseph Alsop and Marquis Childs on their home grounds, and he does so against formidable odds.

"On the other hand, someone who has a message to sell, like Billy Graham, will...
...bureau in Washington (after the New York Times) and an impressive spread of foreign correspondents. On the private preserve of John Hay Whitney, publisher of the New York Herald Tribune, he went poaching for big game and bagged two handsome specimens: Pundits Walter Lippmann. now under contract, and Joseph Alsop, who will sign up later this year. Adding insult to injury. Graham then suggested that Whitney melt the Trib's 14-man Washington bureau into Graham's huge squad of newsmen. That proved to be a serious mistake...
