DIED. CLAYTON KIRKPATRICK, 89, pioneering editor of the Chicago Tribune; in Glen Ellyn, Ill. When he took over the paper in 1969, Kirkpatrick wrote in an editorial, "No political party should take the Tribune for granted." Under his 10-year reign, the Tribune dropped its partisan Republican stance and became an objective, nationally respected publication.
