The news business today is much different from those talked about in this book. The old days of knowing the English language and writing good grammatical sentences has gone. As Jean Shelton told me many years ago, "During the Depression, teachers got jobs wherever they could. Ours had a PhD from Berkeley. She drilled all of us boys with good English grammar all through our schooling." With this in mind, you might understand why the Shelton boys became journalists. Their days in the business carried them in many different directions--some everyday occurrences, others very intriguing such as the Kennedy assignation. This book covers their lives and the news business.
