...over the ailing, family-owned New York Herald Tribune in 1955 with the triple-threat title of publisher-president-editor. "Brownie" Reid set out to counter the Times's thoroughness with livelier stories, editorial fun and promotion games. But heading out in the new direction, the Modern Republican Trib slumped badly, last September went to its good friend, Modern Republican John Hay ("Jock") Whitney, 53, currently Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, for a reported $2,000,000 loan...
With Jock's jack in hand, hard-working Brownie Reid enriched his improvement formula, reorganized and improved news coverage and the editorial page, happily watched circulation creep up to 37,400 by March. But as the Trib struggled and talked wistfully of the desirability of going to 10? on the city newsstands (the afternoon-paper price in New York City), the Times held coolly to its 5? price and made money, while the Trib, competitively held at a nickel, slipped into...

Getting down to business, Buchwald...
...barred Columnist Buchwald from all future briefings. Said he later: "I was so mad I could cry. The President read it and laughed. This made me madder. The President said: 'Simmer down, Jim, simmer down.' " Instead, the upsimmering Hagerty swore that he would "get even with the Trib." After calling his press conference half an hour early, he primly informed newsmen-among them Buchwald-that the Buchwald column "at no time" resembled "what I ever said at a public briefing." The Herald Tribune, "being a fair and decent paper," Hagerty added pointedly, would give his rebuttal the same...
