1 item: 3-pp. letter from Chick Galloway to Bill Thomas, later shared with "Claude." The subject is the screening of calls to the City Desk. Galloway writes that it was true that the screener "should be an amateur psychologist, an information bureau, and possess the skin of an alligator." The letter also details a number of interesting stories related to screening calls from the public at the news desk of a major newspaper. Galloway considered this task to be something of an art form.
