After spending four months trying to break into journalism in Manhattan, Wolfe landed a $55-a-week reporter's job on the Springfield (Mass.) Union, moved on to the Washington Post, then went to work for the Trib...
...details. Best guess, however, was that Scripps-Howard's Telly and Hearst's J-A would merge, quite possibly under the editorial direction of the Journal. That would leave the New York Post the only other remaining afternoon paper. In addition, the Sunday edition of the Trib would combine with the Journal's Sunday paper (the Telly has no Sunday edition). At the same time, the papers are exploring the possibility of combined printing operations to cut production costs, and are considering building a new $25 million plant.

From 1955 to 1964, the circulation of the Trib dropped from 340,462 to 307,674, the Journal sagged from 653,291 to 538,057, the Telegram from 570,275 to 403,340, the Post from 399,886 to 329,523; in that period, the Times rose 117,759, to 652,135, and the News climbed...

Both Collier and Szulc reported last week that U.S. troops were helping the loyalists fight the rebels in northern Santo Domingo, but no other reporters confirmed...
...veteran of 20 years as a Trib reporter, Mrs. Crist (rhymes with hissed) began her career as a film critic two years ago. In an early review, she blasted a much ballyhooed movie, Spencer's Mountain, then showing at New York's largest movie house, Radio City Music Hall. The movie's producer, Warner Bros., promptly canceled all advertising in the Trib, while the Music Hall reduced its linage. The Trib answered with an editorial denouncing the "inane" pressure tactics. "A newspaper whose comments and critiques can be controlled by advertisers," said the Trib, "cheats its readers...
