...things out. His secretary speaks 12 unrelated languages fluently, and in flawless English she informs me that Mr. Managing Editor is now only Mr. Deputy Editor and that his job is being shared by two other men. May I see him? Yes, because he has nothing to do--"the Trib is easing him out." Why? Because no one trusts this man, who alone made the decision to hire...
...three biggest reporting stars could not appear. In 1951 they shared the Pulitzer Prize. One, Keyes Beech, of the Chicago Daily News, was in Bangkok. At 66, he is charging around Asia again, now for the Los Angeles Times. Homer Bigart, 72, of the defunct Herald-Trib, sent a message of regret. He was, he explained, temporarily toothless: "I am capable of putting down the martini, but I can't handle the olives."

The Sun-Times's "Weird World of John Wayne Gacy" featured an interview with a teenage male whore named Jaime who remembered seeing Gacy cruise the gay bars on the Near North Side. Gacy once picked...
...paper might have lasted longer if an expected newspaper strike had temporarily shut the city's three larger dailies, leaving the nonunion Trib the biggest daily in town. A lockout is still a possibility this week at Rupert Murdoch's Post, but the prospect of a citywide strike has receded. As it was, the Trib even missed the story of its own death. Unable to come up with the check for roughly $23,000 that the paper's New Jersey printer demanded each night before rolling the presses, Saffir canceled what would have been the self-proclaimed...
