When you read the letters of Herb Stark in The Dallas Morning News, keep in mind the man from Massapequa, New York, isn’t just a fan of the hometown paper. He’s a fan of every newspaper: Says here in today’s New York Newsday that every morning the 76-year-old wakes up and fires up the computer to scan the online editions of some 30 papers from across the country and around the world–“from The Dallas Morning News to The New York Times, from the International Herald Tribune in Paris to the Irish Examiner in County Cork.” Says the retired phone-company repairman, “This is what I do, and believe me, it’s pretty tough to think of things to write.” This will be me in 40 years. Or yesterday. –Robert Wilonsky
