...even today he rarely visits the newsroom. Intolerant of deadwood. Knowland started chopping at it; since 1958 he has fired ten editorial hands, and seven more have quit in anger. Knowland declared war on overtime, trimmed the Trib's virtually unlimited sick leave. He promoted his son Joe, 30, to overseer at large, and Joe antagonized much of the staff. The American Newspaper Guild, which had long failed to organize the Tribune, succeeded last year. To the guild's surprise. Bill Knowland-who based his gubernatorial campaign on an open-shop labor policy-proved a reasonable adversary...
...Justice Department, where one of his first cases was the Owen Lattimore investigation. In 1950 he married Ethel Skakel, a Greenwich, Conn, girl he had met on a college ski trip (who has turned into a first-rate political campaigner). In 1952 Bobby joined the legal staff of Joe McCarthy's Senate Investigations Subcommittee. A diligent worker, he uncovered a headline-getting scandal involving British merchant ships carrying supplies to Red China during the Korean war. The "slipshod" investigations of the committee's chief counsel, Roy Cohn, seemed just as scandalous to Bobby, and he resigned from...
...overcome the upstate Republican bulge, the Democrats need a landslide in New York City-where the "minorities" make up a majority. Biggest bloc: 2,600.000 Roman Catholics. The Jewish population, 2,400,000, has shown little passion for either candidate. Among the Jews spread rumors, since denied, of Father Joe Kennedy's sympathy to Nazi Germany while he was Ambassador to England on the eve of World War II. Similar rumors spread that in the heat of Nixon's California senatorial campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas in 1950, he sneered that she was married to Actor Melvyn Douglas...
Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, who formed their partnership in 1957 on a $5,000 investment and last year did $3,500,000 worth of business, have succeeded with a rare combination of organization and talent. Not only do they know how to make good, well-timed, funny films, but-to meet the demands of TV-they have vastly accelerated the complicated animation process itself. One half-hour with The Flintstones requires 43,000 individually exposed frames of film, but Hanna and Barbera are turning out more footage in two weeks than the cartoon departments of the major studios used...
...spontaneity derived partly from the fact that the lawyers involved were real, some of the best courtroom performers in New York (Richard Steel William Geoghan Jr., Charles Haydon,' Benedict Ginsberg), who ad-libbed much of their argument. On the griddle this week: Huey Long. Later: Arnold Rothstein, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, and former New York Mayor James J. Walker...
