...afternoon paper, say the experts, has a tougher job than the morning paper: it must print the news while it is still breaking. "A new paper, while close to the Herald Tribune in style, would have to be quicker," says James Bellows, the Trib's last editor, who is now associate editor of the Los Angeles Times.

Finally faced by accumulated losses of some $12 million, including $2,000,000 last year, the Times International folded last week and merged with the Trib-Post...
