Gone from the front page are the old-fogyish editorial cartoons, as well as the proclamation that this is the "American Paper for Americans." The comic strip Moon Mullins no longer adorns the first page of the sports section, and most of the Shavian experiments in phonetic spelling (frate for freight) are a thing of the past. Thanks to its flamboyant long time publisher, Colonel Robert McCormick, the Tribune's history is as colorful as that of any paper in the nation. But its raucous eccentricities have given way to a calmer tone and a less polemical approach...
Under the triumvirate's direction, the paper slowly changed its flamboyant ways. The Trib threw out most of the phonetic spelling of which McCormick had been so fond-"frate," "photograf," "soder"-leaving only a few traces, e.g., "altho."

When Chicago played host to Britain's Queen Elizabeth six months ago, no one gave her a more cordial reception than the once rabidly Anglophobic Tribune. The Trib's own news-column byliners and the editorial page at times even find themselves in disagreement...
Fumetti models are paid an average of $16 to $25 a day, and some of them-Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren, for example-go on to bigger things. Some of them even come back.

Instead of such words as frate, grafic, tarif, soder and sofisticated, the Trib will now use freight, graphic, tarif, solder and sophisticated, just like everybody else. Still unchanged are the Colonel's spellings of such words as thoro, burocratic and altho...
