Some
things never change
Late 1974 was good time for journalism career,
reflects former editor
Mike Gerst is the systems editor of the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Late 1974 was
an exciting time to be starting a journalism career. Richard Nixon
was running roughshod over the Constitution as intrepid, crusading
reporters met shadowy sources in dark parking garages, and the future
of democracy hung in the balance.
I was editor-in-chief of the TCU Daily Skiff in the fall of that
year. The summer before taking over, I remember relishing the idea
of having Dick Nixon to kick around while his presidency sputtered
to its inevitable, pathetic end. And then he trumped me. He resigned
on Aug. 9.
As an intern at the Waco Tribune Herald, my job the day before had
been to interview some McLennan County Republican big-wig who assured
me in no uncertain terms that Nixon would survive all the scurrilous,
unfounded media attacks.
