That the Traveler, an afternoon paper published by the Boston Herald-Traveler Corporation, was not robust or highly profitable was common knowledge in Boston and its death was accepted as inevitable. But no one, not even high-ranking staffers or the usually knowledgeable labor unions, expected the Traveler to go when it did or in the quiet way it did. Most newspeople anticipated that the Traveler's death would be the result of a deal made by the publishers of all the Boston dailies, a deal that would also mean the end of some of the others papers; or that...
...Herald-Traveler Corporation's bosses decided simply that the Traveler --one of the last voices of the old Boston which they represented--was losing too much money. TheTraveler's continued existence would merely make things dangerous for all of the company's holdings, the morning Boston Herald, WHDH-TV (Channel 5), and Radio Stations WHDH-AM, and WHDH-FM.

...three-way merger will be called the International Herald Tribune. Interest in the new venture will amount to 37% for Jock Whitney's Trib, 33% for the Times and 30% for the Post. The Trib-Post's editor, Murray M. Weiss, and its publisher, Robert T. MacDonald, will be in charge; Gruson will work with them during the period of transition, then return to Manhattan. With an expected circulation of close to 100,000, the paper will be the largest American daily ever printed outside the U.S.-but it will be put to bed each night without...
