[Ipg-smz] [Ipg-l] Roll out the red carpet for... Mark Brownstein

[Lynn Greiner]

Word counts and column inches .... what fun! Led to some very creative
editing (and often much tighter writing).

Yes. Writing was on paper, we had REALLY HARD deadlines. We had weekly pitch
meetings. The remote communications used MCIMail and 1200 baud modems,
photos were taken on FILM. The editors dealt with word counts.

We carried pagers.

A lot of us did it. We all used the tools that were available at the time --
and we still do.
