When radio's Information Please was looking for someone to help ex-New York Timesman John Kieran edit its almanac, it picked a man from the rival Herald Tribune: City Editor Joe Herzberg. Manhattan-born Herzberg, who started on the Trib as an 18-year-old copy boy, never finished college.

It fancied the idea of supporting a Democratic presidential candidate-for the first time in its 104 years-if either of the Senators was nominated. But after Stevenson was named, the Trib began to come...
