Hugo - thanks for your slice of time...it's a wonderfully evocative little
bit 'o life. I guess it struck me in particular because in the same time
zone ('65-70) I was a new reporter (the last generation to go from copy boy
to reporter sans a journalism degree) who had to deal with you crazy looned
out eds, most of you chain smoking guys, with a bit of the old scotch and a
beer breath hanging in the air.
Nothing since has even come close to the Runyonesque feel of living in the
depths of a daily newspaper, with the sports editor/bookie with his smelly
big stubby $.10 cigar, the tough/socialite lady social section editor who
told "blue jokes" with the best of 'em and the whole darned cast.
Gawd what a place and time. I guess I must be beyond old and goin' on dead
8^)
