I knew that the train was going to run off the tracks in the late 1980s when I heard an interview with a “journalism student” at University of Missouri (supposedly one of the top “journalism schools in the country,) that the reason she wanted to become a journalist was “to make the world a better place.”
I’ll never forget that. I was driving home from school in New York, nearly home, north of Kansas City, having stopped off at a DQ at an exit on I-29, and was waiting in the drive-through for a cherry Mr. Misty, and I heard that on Chuck Harder’s “For the People” syndicated radio show.
I was aghast. And I still remember it clearly, a bit more than 30 years later!
