Adding to the Lore. Gershman's retirement spotlighted C.N.B.'s role as an excellent place for journalistic novitiates and as the source of journalistic legend. And both reputations seem deserved. Each spring the bureau gets applications from 400 aspiring young journalists. Since 1959, Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism has sent some of its most promising students to C.N.B. for three months of on-the-job training. Even outside the Middle West, City News training is recognized as a valuable apprenticeship for the newsman en route to a big-city byline...

Such was the lot of Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson, bearer of perhaps the most unfortunate public nickname in years. But what kind of name has Lady Bird made for herself? Reaction to her so far has been politely cool. Says Maggie Daly, columnist for Chicago's American: "She looks like every well-dressed woman of means. She does not have any special flair."
