TIME somewhat regretfully denies Buchwald's allegations about its London bureau. But we find ourselves, as we have in many other cases, laughing along with someone who is poking fun at us. For example, in San Francisco last week, Columnist Herb Caen reported overhearing Novelist Herbert Gold describe how the TIME Essay is written. Researchers first dredge up all the quotations on a subject, he explained, "after which they are fed into a computer, and then a senior editor presses the button marked 'Profound...
Died. General Henry Duncan Graham Crerar, 76, Canada's foremost soldier, who led the probing but costly Dieppe raid in 1942, got his revenge in command of the First Canadian Army on Dday, went on to smash the German hinge at Caen, then swept north along the coast through Belgium, clearing the Channel ports and storming across the Rhine into Germany; of a heart attack; in Ottawa...
...selection is huge: tripes a la mode de caen and cassoulet toulousain from France, passion fruit and paw-paw from Africa, canned minnows from Poland, hearts of palm from Brazil, 180 different varieties of honey, and Scandinavian sardines packed in six kinds of sauce.

Caen defected in 1950, when the Examiner offered to double his $15,000 salary, but he returned to the Chronicle eight years later...
...Hall has failed to produce anything quite as tempting as Herb's tripes â la mode de Caen. Despite the steady drain of funds caused by the San Francisco operation, Hearst accountants seem wary of swinging their well-honed axes on the late chief's favorite daily. But rumors periodically crop up that the News Call Bulletin, created in 1959 by a merger between the Hearst and Scripps-Howard afternoon papers, may be scheduled for demolition. If that happens, the Examiner will probably switch to afternoon publication. Hearst executives deny the rumors, but since William Randolph Hearst...
