...years the Republican New York Herald Tribune has not only housed but syndicated two of the most pro-Democratic columnists in the U.S.: spry Walter Lippmann, 73, and supple Joseph Alsop, 52. Last week Columnist Lippmann announced that he and his syndicate of 30 years will soon part company. His new employer, effective Jan. 1: the Washington Post...

...sound; the experiments with acoustics, they reported, might go on for another year. (Added Chief Engineer Leo Beranek: "We do not intend to tear down the hall and re build.") The acoustical debate, in fact. became so silly that it was even joined by the New York Herald Tribune's Art Buchwald, who proposed a Save Lincoln Center Committee. "Acoustically speaking," gibed Buchwald only a few days after the opening. "Philharmonic Hall is still excellent, and the passage of time has only improved the wonderful sounds that emanate from the rafters...
