...work out. I felt his work as mayor would be colored by his political obligations, and on that ground I opposed him. I think now I was wrong." The Republican Chicago Tribune (which has backed Democrats on infrequent occasions) agrees. When Daley was running for his second term, the Trib editorialized: "He is just about the most effective leader of a political party that this city has seen in living memory...
...John Hay Whitney, publisher of the New York Herald Tribune, he went poaching for big game and bagged two handsome specimens: Pundits Walter Lippmann. now under contract, and Joseph Alsop, who will sign up later this year. Adding insult to injury. Graham then suggested that Whitney melt the Trib's 14-man Washington bureau into Graham's huge squad of newsmen. That proved to be a serious mistake...

...departure again set in motion one of the most peripatetic newsmen in the U.S. press. Since 1921, Denson has filled slots on a press wire service, five magazines (including seven years as Newsweek editor), a radio network and five dailies in three cities. At the Trib, his splashy style, unorthodox headlines and capsule summations of the news made the paper sprightlier in appearance...
