At 86, Joseph Russell Knowland. Bill's father and the Tribune's publisher, was pretty well out of action. Bill Knowland's brother Russ, 57, was running the business end. And Bill's son Joe, 29. while willing, still needed editorial seasoning. Leaderless, the Tribune had drifted into some bad habits. Said one staffer: "The paper hasn't initiated any stories in years...
