Maybe too early to be doing this, but I seem to be awake. So. 3 AM. Again, Ernest, anything you’d care to say about life on the newspapers?
It was a fast education, something I could learn to do, writing rules I could absorb immediately. A once in a lifetime opportunity for a kid, and if I’d stayed with the K.C. Star instead of going off to war, maybe I’d have kept my job when all the vets came home, and maybe I’d have been afraid to lose it, and maybe that would have been the end of my career as writer.
