Kelley may have been guilty of something similar, but he never held the stature accorded Gordon Sinclair.<br /><br />My mind casts back to the high school English class in which I was taught the Five Ws of journalism. I don't think there is a single "story" of the hundred or so presented in Bright Path to Adventure that covers more than two or three.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-71289689797492505242009-12-29T15:38:20.926-05:002009-12-29T15:38:20.926-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-63178702758872621112009-12-29T14:05:22.131-05:002009-12-29T14:05:22.131-05:00I have the M&S edition and I can now confirm t...I have the M&S edition and I can now confirm that I was wise to never be tempted to read.<br />The back cover has a younger version of the Sinclair on FPC that I remember - looking like he walked out of "The Front Page". <br /><br />The stories sound like something a slightly (?)more literate Thomas P.
