Assigned to the story by the Trib's able assistant managing editor, Ardis ("Mike") Kennedy, Reporter Norma Lee Browning took a muscular male staffer as escort and started out by scouting the scores of hillbilly hangouts scattered from West Madison Street, Chicago's Skid Row, to "Glitter Gulch" on the squalid South Side. There, in dives that were "wilder than any television western," Reporter Browning set out to stalk and observe a species "whose customs and culture-patterns are as incomprehensible to us as dial telephones are to them." The men mostly sport Levis, black leather jackets...
...newsman, now a Texas rancher, turned out a dismal preview of the scene for his old newspaper, the New York Herald Tribune (1956 "was the year the windmills pumped air ... the termites ate the onions").

Explained the Trib: "He always puts such people in their place by saying, 'The Tribune never asked me to work for it. I asked the Tribune. I am proud to work for the Tribune because I believe...
Competing Sagas. Though Whitehead and the A.P. complained to the Trib, Managing Editor Don Maxwell brushed them off, snapped: "We've covered the FBI as much as anyone. After all, most of the stories in the book were in our morgue, too." While editors scrapped, J. Edgar Hoover happily churned out "exclusive" quotes and prefaces for competing sagas, and let each editor boast that the FBI had "opened its files" wide...
