...accident, it will look like all three of its predecessors. It will be broken into four sections, and in makeup and type, Page 1 of the first section will be reminiscent of the Telegram. The first page of the second section will have a calculated familiarity for old Trib readers, as it gives prominence to Columnists Dick Schaap, Art Buchwald and Jimmy Breslin. Pages 2 and 3 of the second section will contain the editorials and a constantly changing panorama of other columnists-for all the world like the departed Journal-American...
Solid, Seasoned Staff. Finding space for the columnists is one thing; filling the news hole is something else again. During the long strike, some of the Trib's best reporters found other work. The American Newspaper Guild's demand for strict seniority forced Conniff to dump some promising youngsters and keep some tired old hands. "We have a solid, seasoned staff," he says when what he means is that the paper is stuck with 40 reporters who are 60 or older.

"It should make for a pretty lively page," says Conniff. Leslie Gould from the Journal-American will boss the financial page; Maurice Dolbier from the Trib and John Barkham from the Saturday Review will review books; the Trib's Walter Terry, dance; John Gruen and Emily Genauer, art; Miles Kastendieck, William Bender and Alan Rich, music. The Sunday paper, too, will carry features from the Trib: New York magazine, edited by Clay Felker; and Book...
Arch & Tricky. Neither present Times readers nor former Trib readers are likely to disagree, since Kerr is the most thoughtful of the daily reviewers. Never sidetracked by extraneous details, he writes a highly structured review. His leads are often small gems of summation. "After the Fall" he began, "resembles a confessional which Arthur Miller enters as a penitent and from which he emerges as the priest. It is a tricky quick change, sometimes an almost imperceptible one; but it constitutes neither an especially attractive nor especially persuasive performance...
