Abstract

I approached this book with some trepidation. Who wants to read a collection of newspaper pieces from 1982, unrelated, thematically disparate, having in common simply the fact that all earned the "...highest honours conferred on Canadian newspaper people," the National Newspaper Awards? It's not that one does not realize that excellence should be recognized. It's simply that these are old spot news, old features, old columns, old cartoons. Not old in the sense that they are historical, but old in the sense that they are stale and too recent to be appreciated the second time around. That was my feeling as I picked up the book and I was wrong.
