...Brennan, NEA's Ward Cannel and Las Vegas TV Reporter Alan Jarlson were herded into a filthy jail and held incommunicado for nearly ten hours. Miami TV Cameraman Ben Silver was imprisoned for four days. Three other newsmen, including the New York Times's Homer Bigart, were picked up but quickly released...
Soon thereafter the Trib became lighter-if not brighter-by the departure of a dozen disgruntled top Trib hands, among them City Editors Joseph Herzberg and Fendall Yerxa, Pulitzer Prize-winning Correspondent Homer Bigart (who went to the Times). The revamping job turned the paper into a vamp, neither Times nor tabloid-nor Trib.

Bigart, who had never worked for any other paper in 27 years as a newsman, admitted that he had "sweated blood" over the decision. Said an old friend: "Homer's resigning in complete rebellion against...
...hardly known outside his small audience. We note with pleasure that many of the writers, reporters, cartoonists and newspapers that TIME has singled out for praise have later turned up as Pulitzer Prizewinners (including Anthony Leviero of the New York Times; Marguerite Higgins and Homer Bigart of the New York Herald Tribune; Cartoonists James Berryman and Rube Goldberg; and Long Island's Newsday...
