I wandered all the way
through the
morgue at the Milwaukee
Journal in Milwaukee ; the Madison
Capital Times
in Madison .
I interviewed fifty - seventy-five
people in the State of
Wisconsin who theoretically had
knowledge about
- of which was the Winston-Salem Journal.
I first went there
in 1951, and the executive editor of the Winston-Salem Journal at

that manual typing myself .
But in '41, you see, I was in journalism
school, just scratching my way through college .
It was a very interesting
tour .
F:
Trying to pick up an extra,fifty cents here and there .
B:
But 1948 is when I really

Elie Abel, who is now head of Columbia School of Journalism, and
Sander Vanocur, who has left NBC and is with Public Broadcasting.
And they were talking about what kind of a president
- Journal tearing down their five-tower line, and I
thought maybe I was heading for disaster and I was worried and spending
my time up there rather than in Texas.
I wasn't around here, except I
was reading and I was familiar with what was going

in Texas journalism [helped].
Mind you, Stuart didn't know me from
toad hop; he had just sort of taken me into tow.
F:
He had heard of Houston.
