DO THEY LET GIRLS DO THAT?

Do they let girls do that?
More than a few decades ago, I asked that question as I sat in the back of my mother’s Buick listening to the CBS Radio Network News, as a man with that old-school Voice of G-d delivery declaimed the top-of-hour headlines.
And I decided that if they did, I would.
Years later, standing behind another deep-voiced anchor at KDKA Radio, listening to him read my words less well Read more of this blog post »
