...regain lost quality (TIME, Sept. 23), the New York Herald Tribune appeared last week with such innovations as an unsigned column of prophecy called "Radar Screen" and, most notably, 24 additional news columns daily. One day the Trib splurged no fewer than ten of its new columns on a single story: the Trib's considered defiance of a federal judge's order that its TV-Radio Columnist Marie Torre identify one of her news sources...
...guarantee it by law, and the Federal Government has no such statute. Judge Sylvester Ryan warned attractive, hard-working Columnist Torre, 33, that she was risking a sentence of 30 days for contempt if she persisted. Sympathetically, the judge called her "the Joan of Arc of her profession." The Trib promptly staked her out on Page One in a blaze of pictures, plastered most of an inside page with sidebars, ran a fat lead editorial sounding the tocsin of the freedom, of the press and invoking the shade of Woodrow Wilson.

With new money in the bank to finance ambitious plans for a "new" paper (TIME, Sept. 23), the New York Herald Tribune suggested on its editorial page last week what an editorial page should be about.

Under Brownie Reid, the Trib has opened a Moscow bureau (cost: $75,000 a year), staffed by able B.J. Cutler. Under longtime Associated Press Correspondent Don (The FBI Story) Whitehead, its Washington bureau in the past two years has turned in many a solid reporting job, such as the series last year by Tom Lambert and Robert S. Bird...
...Herald Tribune's unknown quantity, to many staffers, is still Publisher Reid, a portentously high-minded young man who sincerely believes that "the Trib is one of the world's most important papers"-yet must take the blame for much in the recent oast that has made it merely trivial. Even last week, as Tribmen spoke earnestly of their plans for a better paper, radio commercials and full-page ads for a new circulation-boosting Tangle Towns contest struck a dissonant note. Nevertheless, the decision to refinance and remold the Herald Tribune argued powerfully that young Brownie Reid...
