Founded as the Tribune in 1841 by Horace Greeley, married in 1924 to the popular Herald, and killed in a 1966 shootout in the city's competitive marketplace, the Trib was for decades palpitating proof that a paper could be both serious...

Among them: George Will and David Broder of the Washington Post Writers Group; Ellen Goodman, whose hip and compassionate Boston Globe commentary is also distributed by the Post Group; Jeff MacNelly, the Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist who next week will launch with the Trib-News syndicate a comic strip about a bird who edits a newspaper; New York News Funnyman Gerald Nachman (TIME, Aug. 23,1976); and, most recently, Jack Germond and Jules Witcover, a pair of Washington veterans whose six-month-old investigative column promises to match Jack Anderson scoop for scoop...
