...odds than ever with his fellow pundits over the budget. The New York Herald Tribune's Ike-minded Roscoe Drummond said that the President "is fighting the wrong battle on the wrong ground with the wrong weapons." Stewart Alsop, also of Lawrence's home paper, the Trib, said: "The betting is still that Congress will do to the popular Eisenhower what it never dared to do to the unpopular Truman-hack away at his whole foreign policy program with a meat ax all along the line." Fair-Dealing Doris Fleeson even started one column: "The President has lost...
PLACES! exclaimed a headline on the Chicago Tribune editorial page last week. The editorial below explained that Jules Dubois, the Trib's veteran Latin America correspondent, had been permanently barred as an "agitator" from Strongman Rafael Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Reason: as chairman of the Inter-American Press Association's press freedom committee, Dubois had recommended that two Trujillo-owned dailies, El Caribe and La Nation, be expelled from the I.A.P.A., because there is no freedom of the press under Trujillo.

In nearly 30 years (ten for the Trib) on the banana-belt beat, he has developed an uncanny facility for guessing when and where a story will break. In Guatemala, where he reported as early as 1948 that the Arevalo regime was Communist-infiltrated, he arrived on the scene only hours before Castillo Armas' successful uprising broke out in 1954. New York-born Dubois speaks fluent Spanish...
...first six months, the skyscrapers knocked her flat; while laying siege to the Herald Tribune (because another woman, far-traveling Marguerite Higgins, had done so well there), she judged jingle contests, publicized a few hotels, and on some days was down to very slim rations. But the Herald Trib finally surrendered, hired her to write women's features. In 1955 Sports Editor Bob Cooke saw a piece she had written on skiing, brought her over to Sports, gave her only one bit of instruction: "I told her to ask any question she wanted and not to worry about sounding...
