...Kintner, a Johnson pal since the two first met in the early '30s while Kintner was a New York Herald Tribune reporter in Washington and Johnson was a young congressional secretary, even the President seemed a bit uncertain about where the gregarious ex-executive might wind up. There was a broad hint, though, that he just might be dealing with the press. "He will be at the service of the President, and if he needs to play first or second or third base, I hope he can do it," Johnson told reporters. "I don't want...
...Lack of Skepticism. A new Sunday paper, the World Journal and Tribune, will be a combination of the Sunday edition of the Herald Tribune and the Sun day Journal. Its editor will be Herbert Kamm, 48, now managing editor of the Telegram and a member of its staff since 1943. While the Hearst-Howard weekday mix strikes most observers as workable enough, there is no lack of skepticism about the Sunday lash-up. Jock Whitney and Bill Hearst may not fit comfortably into the same paper. All the publishers will admit is that they plan to keep the Trib...
...staffer after an other has left for another job. At the Journal-American, reporters are calculating their seniority and worrying about whether they can survive a merger. The word is out that peripatetic Editor John Denson is getting ready to move once more.

A combination of television, strong suburban dailies and crippling strikes has drained those papers of readers and advertisers. Circulation of the WorldTelegram has dropped from 448,828 in 1960 to 389,291 today; in the same period, Journal-American circulation slipped from 618,802 to 535,310. The Sunday Trib (circ. 360,876), though it has been praised for its sprightliness, has been unable to make much headway against the powerful Sunday Times, with its impressive circulation...
Clobbering the Critics. More than anything else, it's the critics who bring out the beast (and the best) in Merrick. To a considerable degree, the reviewers who write for the New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune can make or break any show that comes to Broadway. Producers have always complained about the critics' power, but nobody did anything until, from motives no doubt crass as well as cultural, David loaded his sling...
