...more diplomat than Democrat, though both. The one that stirred up almost universal misgivings, and considerable anger, was not a question of left or right but the appointment of the President-elect's own brother Bobby as Attorney General. "A shaky and somewhat embarrassing start," the New York Herald Tribune called...
Tooting into Paris after a two-month jam session in Africa as good-will ambassador for Pepsi-Cola and the State Department, leather-lunged Trumpeter Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong confided to the New York Herald Tribune's Art Buchwald that the Congo-for Satchmo, anyway-is as safe as a cat's own front porch.

...issue has excited many other rivalries. The Globe (for) and the Herald (against) are continually fighting it out, and the Legislature sees the demand for a convention as Executive intrusion upon its authority.

Some time after he revived the long dormant Enterprise for a plaything in 1952, aging (57) Dandy Lucius Beebe, onetime high-society chronicler for the New York Herald Tribune, genially proclaimed: "The editorial policy of the Enterprise is benevolent backwardness-reaction against everything." Last week the enterprising Enterprise, tongue only half in cheek, declared that since the centennial of the Civil War is to be observed next year, it might be fitting to reverse history and have...
