Implicit in Carter's phony scoop was the real cause of Fleet Street's wrath at De Gaulle: his insistence on regarding West Germany, rather than Britain, as his closest ally. Adenauer and De Gaulle, screamed the Daily Herald, are "the terrible twins . . . two stubborn, jealous, ambitious and misguided old men, determined to assert power and authority in Western Europe...
...Terrible Twins. Early this month the Laborite Daily Herald (circ. 1,464,773) bannered a new charge against der Alte: DR A. JOINS A-BOMB CLUB IN SECRET. Burden of this "scoop" by Herald Air Correspondent Gilbert Carter was that West German money and scientists were helping to build France's Abomb. Outraged, West German Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss denounced Carter's story as a phony, invited Carter to inspect West German research centers-and the French-German Ballistics Research Institute in Alsace-to see for himself. For telltale days Carter hesitated; when he finally did accept...
Each morning the New York Herald Tribune (circ. 350,966) rolls off its Manhattan presses in a grueling fourth-place struggle against its competitors-the Daily News (circ. 2,025,229), the Mirror (836,810) and the Times (673,974). An ocean away in Paris, home of the Trib's Continental alter ego, the picture is far different.

While Bennett lived, the newspaper was never much more than an expensive plaything. Self-exiled to Europe after a series of escapades, Bennett established the Paris Herald in 1887 mostly as a buffer against his own ennui. Save for a glorious hour at the outbreak of the first World War, when Bennett resolutely published under the German guns after even the government had fled, the Herald for three decades...
...when the New York Herald was sold to Frank A. Munsey, the Paris Herald was tossed into the deal. To Munsey it was an unexpected windfall; the war, with its tide of Yanks, had swollen circulation to 400,000 and brought untabulated prosperity. Munsey found a cool $1,000,000 cash in the Paris Herald's bank account. But the prosperity was short-lived. Munsey pared the Paris budget to the marrow, handed the paper over as a dubious dividend when he sold the New York Herald in 1924 to Ogden Reid's New York Tribune...
