...illustrious American dailies gone to that great newsstand in the sky, few have been so deeply mourned as New York's old Herald Tribune. Founded as the Tribune in 1841 by Horace Greeley, married in 1924 to the popular Herald, and killed in a 1966 shootout in the city's competitive marketplace, the Trib was for decades palpitating proof that a paper could be both serious...
Perhaps, because the old Trib did not go gently into that good nightside. The paper's overseas edition, the International Herald Tribune (circ. 118,000), is still published in Paris by IHT Corp., a joint venture of the New York Times, Washington Post and Whitney Communications, the old Trib's last owner.

Daniels is a onetime newspaperman (city editor, the Miami Herald) and grandson of the late North Carolina publisher Josephus Daniels, who was Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson. He was reluctant to take on Hefner's problems but was wooed by the Chief Rabbit's salary offer of $250,000 annually, plus a $225,000 bonus...
...Courier-Journal, simply blacks out with his felt-tip pen any anatomical displays that trouble him. "They call me the mad brassiere artist," says he. Other papers have for years had policies banning or limiting adult-film advertising, among them the Detroit News, Cleveland Plain Dealer and Miami Herald. Wrote Herald Executive Editor John McMullan last June in welcoming the new puritan revival: "A newspaper, after all, is only a guest in your home...
