The word was "disinformation," and George cleverly wrote about it using words with the prefix "mis" changed to "dis," such as "distake" and "disanthrope." Some newspapers re-printed it in its entirety.
Born Jan. 14, 1920, in New York, Herman was graduated from Dartmouth College and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
