With the promise of new capital came an assurance that the Herald Tribune would again cultivate its biggest asset: the tradition of serious, independent journalism that started with Founder Horace Greeley and under the late Publisher Ogden Reid Sr. earned the paper the reputation of being a newspaperman's newspaper.* In support of this aim, the Trib plans to add up to 16 columns to its news space and put its emphasis on the first rather than the second half of Brownie Reid's credo: "More News in Less Time...
...Herald Tribune's unknown quantity, to many staffers, is still Publisher Reid, a portentously high-minded young man who sincerely believes that "the Trib is one of the world's most important papers"-yet must take the blame for much in the recent oast that has made it merely trivial. Even last week, as Tribmen spoke earnestly of their plans for a better paper, radio commercials and full-page ads for a new circulation-boosting Tangle Towns contest struck a dissonant note. Nevertheless, the decision to refinance and remold the Herald Tribune argued powerfully that young Brownie Reid...
Sinerama. Though barely old enough to vote, brash, nightclub-pallid John J. Miller is precocious enough to be Broadway's most scurrilous keyhole peeper. For Manhattan's National Enquirer (circ. 119,055), a Sunday tabloid ("The World's Liveliest Paper") that caters to subway society with a churnful of cheesecake, a flutter of racing tips and leering feature stories (LANA TURNER: A GIRL NEEDS MORE THAN A BOSOM), Miller writes what is probably the yeastiest scandal column printed anywhere. Besides his own bylined sinerama each week, thick-set ("six feet when I stand up straight") John Miller...
...three years since he joined the paper, Miller has sold his Enquirer sweepings to the Chronicle and three other dailies, two of which-the Erie (Pa.) Times and the Cincinnati Times-Star-have dropped him. The third, the New Orleans Item, deleted the Nixon item from Miller's copy. Memo-Merchant Miller uses the same raw material to tape-record 30-second hotspots that are used around the clock by 15 radio stations (top price: $50 weekly). Now Miller has filmed his first TV keyhole show (which he hopes to sell to WXEX in Richmond, Va.), and will sign...
Faster Copies. A small (25 by 17 by 19 in.) machine that can copy a page of microfilmed material on letter-size white paper in less than ten seconds-six to 18 times faster than any previous reprinting method-was put on sale by Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. Price: $629 for a 16-mm.-or 35-mm.-film size, $695.50 for a machine that handles both sizes...
