Jim Murray's Sports Column Starts in The Times

My apologies, friends. Jim Murray’s column began Feb. 12 and I am just catching up with it now. Like most of the old-time columnists (see Paul Coates and Matt Weinstock), Murray wrote six times a week, an output that is almost unimaginable today. I never met Jim, although I did speak with him once on the phone about the Black Dahlia case (yes, he was rewrite man at the Examiner back in 1947) and he was a very cordial fellow. I’ll need to rethink my lineup to run six columns a week. I like the idea but as I always say, so many stories and only one Larry Harnisch. |
