What wonderful memories come back with your mention of The Miami Herald! My circa 1950's neighbor, Nixon Smiley, wrote Knights of the Fourth Estate. He credits Herald Executive Editor, Lee Hills for why “the Herald had become widely known as a newspaper which encouraged individual style and individual writing”. My Aunt was a Herald Reporter through the 1950's and wrote with just such flair. They were doing deep investigative reporting and writing with a style that was captivating!
Remembering a comment by then-Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado when 1 Herald Plaza was months away from being demolished. He said that it was a building that many people didn't appreciate, but would miss when it was gone. Regalado was absolutely right.
